We keep pruning things off the #curl tree every once in a while. Here's what is next in line to get chopped: curl.se/dev/deprecate.html

If you have opinions on any of those, speak up on the mailing list asap.

Items to be removed from future curl releases

I'm surprised 2.2% of users using something counts as it being "barely used", given the size of curl's userbase. Is there a usage threshold that you look for, when considering cutting features, or do you consider features to cut on a case-by-case basis?

@mag well, only a tiny fraction of users respond to the survey and I always think people over-select. So yes, I think 2.2% is basically zero actual users.

We do this regularly but on case-by-case basis when someone brings some old sins out in the sunlight and we have a discussion.

@mag but also: we have this deprecation period to allow anyone and everyone to speak up and say something if we have misread the situation and we should reconsider

If curl removes rtmp, will that break VLC? Breaking VLC would spawn pitchforks.
