For features included in the Gutenberg plugin, the deprecation policy is intended to support backward compatibility for two minor plugin releases, when possible. Features and code included in a stable release of WordPress are not included in this deprecation timeline, and are instead subject to the versioning policies of the WordPress project. The current deprecations are listed below and are grouped by the version at which they will be removed completely. If your plugin depends on these behaviors, you must update to the recommended alternative before the noted version.
