Cairo had a "Using Forms for Settings" feature, TWiki:TWiki03.TWikiForms#Using_Forms_For_Settings
which has been silently removed from Dakar. This makes it impossible for at least one site to upgrade, see TWiki:Support.UseFormForSettingBroken.
I see that we have a TWiki:Codev.ProcessToDocUndocumentedStuff and a TWiki:Codev.PluginsApiPolicies, but not yet a TWiki:Codev.TWikiCoreDeprecationPolicy.
Personally I never used this feature. In any case, I do not think we should silently drop a documented feature. I think we should restore this feature, declare it as deprecated, and remove it two releases later.
-- PTh
An alternative route could be to make a plugin solution for those that need the feature.
Then they do not have to worry about what to do in two years.
-- KJL
Yes, that is a good approach. Who is doing this? The person who removed the feature?
-- PTh
I doubt it. Thomas removed it, and he hasn't been seen for a long time.

Restored.
