66459 - deprecate REMIND and LATER

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(mozilla.org :: Miscellaneous, task)

Description

[Stephan Niemz]

I think http://www.mozilla.org/bugs/ should note that the resolutions
LATER and REMIND are now deprecated in favour of the target milestone.

Asa?

Comment 3

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

Dawn, I think everyone agrees that these should go away. I can do the same
newsgroup and mail spam to people with bugs in Later and Remind as I did with
the milestones going away.  If I manage to get them all reopened how difficult
would it be to remove the resolutions from the list so people couldn't continue
to use them?

I don't quite agree with marking this as a duplicate. Bug 35839 is about a much
bigger issue, this bug is only about changing one web page. See the attached
patch. (Which is only a suggestion for the wording.)

I think making that small change on http://www.mozilla.org/bugs/ could help
solving bug 35839, and later, when REMIND and LATER are gone, that page should
be changed again, of course. But now that page is confusing, because the
description of REMIND and LATER is not up-to-date.

Reopening and adding dependency.

Quoted from current http://www.mozilla.org/bugs/ :

> LATER and REMIND
> 	These are both deprecated. Please do not use them.

I think this bug (the deprecation warning) is fixed.
