Tom deprecated 2006 this interface. I suggest we mark it for deletion. Tom, please advice if that is OK for you. Marking it for deletion would allow us to remove if for Mars+2.
First step deprecate all fields and methods: https://git.eclipse.org/r/39282

Tom, can you give the PMC flag or should I ask Dani?

The 2 year retention policy is "inclusive": https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/API_Central/Deprecation_Policy#Retention_Policy Note that the API is used at several places (mainly fallback code), so, someone will have to do some work here.

The deletion date (after 2016) was wrong. We keep it for the next two releases. Fixed this to be 2017.

If you really want to remove things, you have to follow https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/API_Central/API_Removal_Process IPlatformRunnable is currently not marked for deletion in the @deprecated message and with @no* tags. Furthermore, there are many references to this type in various components, and I don't see announcements for all the referencing APIs. See also bug 482382.
(In reply to Markus Keller from comment #12) > If you really want to remove things, you have to follow > https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/API_Central/API_Removal_Process I think process changes are only valid for new API deprecation and not stuff that happened in the past. Please open a new bug to align the code with the new requirements.
Lars, two simple ways to fix this: 1. Postpone deletion 2. Add a comment to IPlatformRunnable
We will postpone this deletion (bug 495330), and first resolve bug 482382.

When is the actual deletion scheduled to take place? Is there a Bugzilla for that?
