Hello everyone!

Getting back to all developers regarding the aforementioned framework
deprecation. We didn't deprecate those yet as we decided to give more
time for porting those to newer frameworks. Right now a month has passed
from the original announcement and we see that the count of applications
using the old frameworks didn't really change much.
We would still like to get rid of those as soon as possible.

We will be removing those for OTA-11. If your application is using one
of the frameworks mentioned below, make sure to upgrade it before OTA-11
release (so in 4-5 weeks from now). rc-proposed will be getting the
frameworks removed slightly earlier, as always.

Once the frameworks are removed from stable, all the old dependent
applications will stop working - so be sure to port them as soon as
possible to the latest supported framework.

Thank you!

Cheers,
