<p style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">Asterisk follows a 2 year module deprecation process. A module is initially marked as deprecated and set to not be built by default in a standard release which is carried over to the next long term supported release. This provides a period of 2 releases and thus 2 years where the module is marked as deprecated. In the next standard release the module is then removed from the source code tree entirely which is carried over to the next long term supported release. As an example (note that this has not occurred),</p>
<ol style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">
<li>The app_alarmreceiver is marked as deprecated in master and set to not build by default</li>
<li>The Asterisk 19 (standard release) branch is created from master with app_alarmreceiver marked as deprecated and set to not build by default</li>
<li>The Asterisk 20 (long term supported release) branch is created from master with app_alarmreceiver marked as deprecated and set to not build by default</li>
<li>The app_alarmreceiver module is removed from master</li>
<li>The Asterisk 21 (standard release) branch is created from master with app_alarmreceiver removed</li>
<li>The Asterisk 22 (long term supported release) branch is created from master with app_alarmreceiver removed</li>
</ol>
<p style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">During the time at which the module is deprecated in both a standard and long term supported release feedback is taken from the community as to the continued use of the module, through forum posts, mailing list posts, and issues. Notice of deprecation and removal is given as part of the release notes for the respective versions, as well as release notes in older releases. This serves to give as much notice as possible to the community that a module is being deprecated.</p>

<li>Before a module can be marked as deprecated a discussion needs to occur on the <a href="http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/" class="external-link" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b73af; text-decoration: none">asterisk-dev mailing list</a>. Depending on the result of this it would also be wise to reach out the <a href="http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/" class="external-link" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b73af; text-decoration: none">asterisk-users mailing list</a> and <a href="https://community.asterisk.org/" class="external-link" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b73af; text-decoration: none">community forums</a> to ensure that the module is not seeing widespread usage.
