Jeston Deprecation Policy: A Replacement Must Exist

Jeston documents a conservative deprecation rule: an API is marked deprecated for at least one major release when a replacement exists. Documentation should explain the alternative, introduction version, and planned removal version.

Why this matters

Jeston's design keeps the runtime explicit. The framework gives teams a place to express the contract, while the application remains responsible for provider choice, policy, failure handling, and operational measurement.

A practical reading rule

Separate supported behavior from experimental work, roadmap items, catalog metadata, and application responsibilities. That distinction is essential when adopting a framework and when writing upgrade documentation.

This article is part of a technical series about Jeston by Kvant. The source of truth is the official repository. Verify the current package and documentation before applying any example to production.
