Description
Motivation
There are a few cases:
- The tool is deprecated because it no longer exists or is broken
- It exists but is no longer recommended (e.g. a better alternative exists)
- A special case of the above; it exists but a basically drop-in replacement exists (e.g. ruff)
How do we handle the above cases? An initial brainstorm:
For drop-in replacements, we can just change the config and migrate the user to the new approach automatically.
For non-recommended tools, we can spit a warning and recommend migrating.
For non-existent or broken tools, we should refuse to add and do removal only.
Summary of desired enhancement
Consider this further and document this philosophy
