[platform-swt-dev] Deprecating Composite.changed(..) api?
Hello,

In regards to this bug:
Bug 500086 – Deprecate Composite.changed
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=500086

7 years ago, the public api change(..) was added as a result of miss understanding in: Bug 68957.

If you read over Bug 500086, there is compelling reason to deprecate it. (It's not used and doesn't do what was originally needed).

In this patch the API is deprecated and code is replaced with a sub-call that performs a similar action:
https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/83541

Technically, the patch is sound. I'm just not very familiar with deprecation of API. Can anyone advise, can we go ahead with the patch or are there procedures that we should follow first?

Thank you.
