Discontinued Liberty feature capabilities
A feature capability that is marked as discontinued will not be available in new versions of a feature.
For example, if a capability is discontinued after feature-1.0, the capability
will not be available in feature-1.1, but you can continue to use the capability
with feature-1.0.
You do not need to change any of your existing applications and scripts that use a discontinued feature capability. If a strategic alternative is available, consider using it for new applications.
