#pragma section-numbers 2 = Unloved features = Features that are kept for backwards compatibility. <> == What are unloved features? == Unloved features include: * [[InotifyExtension|inotify]] (removed in Mercurial 3.0 in favor of HgwatchmanExtension) * [[FetchExtension|fetch]] * [[TransplantExtension|transplant]] (consider graft or rebase) * [[HgkExtension|hgk]] * "[defaults]" config section * "[decode/encode]" config section These features receive very little developer attention and are not considered appropriate for most users. /!\ You should avoid making these features part of your workflow. == Why do these features exist? When will they be removed? == They were created because some developers thought they would be useful but have long since fallen out of common use by our developer community. Due to our [[CompatibilityRules|compatibility rules]], these features will continue to exist for the foreseeable future, but are unlikely to get more than basic maintenance. == See also == * FeaturesOfLastResort * FeatureLevels * CompatibilityRules ---- ## list categories here
