Deprecation Policy
==================
Any change to pip that removes or significantly alters user-visible behaviour
Any change to pip that removes or significantly alters user-visible behavior
that is described in the pip documentation will be deprecated for a minimum of
one released version before the change occurs. Deprecation will take the form of
a warning being issued by pip when the feature is used. Longer deprecation
periods, or deprecation warnings for behaviour changes that would not normally
be covered by this policy, are also possible depending on circumstances, but
this is at the discretion of the pip developers.
6 months before the change occurs. Deprecation will take the form of a warning
being issued by pip when the feature is used. Longer deprecation periods, or
deprecation warnings for behavior changes that would not normally be covered by

behaviour. If something isn't explicitly mentioned in the documentation, it can
behavior. If something isn't explicitly mentioned in the documentation, it can
be changed without warning, or any deprecation period, in a pip release.

document existing behaviour with the intention of covering that behaviour with
document existing behavior with the intention of covering that behavior with
the above deprecation process are always acceptable, and will be considered on
their merits.
