Mark EditorHints as obsolete, it's no longer used by tooling.

You mean the EditorBrowsable stuff?

[Eilon]

Also what does "no longer used" mean? Was it ever?

[NTaylorMullen]

Nope, not EditorBrowsable, this. Talked to @anurse a while back and they were originally added to indicate if an attribute value was virtual; at which point Todd would detect that and provide appropriate ~/ IntelliSense. Thing is, Todds HTML editor is a bit more decoupled from the Razor side of things so he ended up taking his own stab at making that possible. End result, they were never used.

So is this a suggestion to [Obsolete] the unread / unset SpanEditHandler.EditorHints property? Or do you want to treat that class as if it were internal?

[NTaylorMullen]

I'd prefer to treat it as if it was internal but that'd be a binary breaking change. I'm assuming that's a no go. Therefore, obsolete until we can remove it in a bigger release would suffice.

Bug is approved as a breaking change. Please mark things obsolete (but remain compatible) in this bug, then log a new breaking-change bug for 2.0.0.
