The TWG coding standards committee is announcing an issue for final discussion. Feedback will be reviewed on March 20, 2019.

To help the initiative to update all deprecated code for Drupal 9 we need a standardized format for deprecation messages.

New issue for discussion:

• Issue #3024461: Adopt consistent format for deprecation messages.
  Having a machine readable format for deprecation messages will allow us to develop tools on api.drupal.org to keep track of the current status of deprecated code in Drupal core and contributed modules. This will help drive the initiative to update all deprecated code before the release of Drupal 9.
