This deprecates the public re-exporting of the copies of the old dataflow library (e.g.
semmle.code.java.dataflow.DataFlow2
orsemmle.code.java.dataflow.TaintTracking3
).Currently CodeQL issues a warning when using an item from a
deprecated import
, even if the usage is in a deprecated context. So for now, modules which still use the deprecated items (e.g. a deprecated class extendingTaintTracking2::Configuration
) mark the import as deprecated, and then re-import it privately.
