Just repeating what I've said from previous reviews, but I'd prefer only using syntax 1 for absolute consistency in deprecation. This process will already be cumbersome, so keeping everything lean where possible is a must in my opinion.

Personally I prefer syntax 1 for its consistency.

@KevinBKozan Do you mean syntax 1 or syntax 2?

[KevinBKozan]

@jilu1 apologies, I did mean Syntax 1 👍

What does it look like if an argument if deprecated?

For example, if an action group has an argument and 5 different actions in that action group reference that argument, then how can you deprecated the argument without also affecting those 5 actions?

[jilu1]

@tomreece Good catch! Not all action group argument deprecation can be completely isolated. To make it simple, let's remove it from the list. Fixed.

I prefer syntax 1 because it is consistent.

@paliarush @okolesnyk It looks like the formal Architectural Discussions meeting process has changed. Can you please review this document and I can setup a informal meeting if further discussion is needed? Thanks!

I updated with more generic version number and make sure major release ends with 0.
