We've now spent more time debating the deprecation that we would have saved if it had been deprecated.
Deprecations cost user good will. Whilst I very much want to delete all assertions in favour of matchers, which would allow composed symmetry rather than the manual symmetry we have today.
Like michael I don't see any benefit in getting rid of it either. I don't believe it will make the API substantially easier to learn: the lack of symmetry increases special cases, so it will IMO make it harder to learn.
Unless you've new arguments to make about this, I think the ticket can be closed WONTFIX. |
