If we can clearly communicate that greyed-out functions are deprecated and strike-through means removed "in the latest (numerically, not necessarily chronologically) stable release" (or wherever we drew the line), that would be nice. If we can't be absolutely clear and obvious what is meant by the different styling, I'd be hesitant to introduce it. Especially given we have loads of information readily available on the function page proper. P.S. Shouldn't these suggestions be being made for the "beta" site? > > I don't expect the CSS would be much of an issue. > > > -- > Andrea Faulds > http://ajf.me/ >
