I posted a note awhile back that it might be nice to be able to mark an object as deprecated. Then have the system remove it after some time, to allow us to prune out old data, objects, etc that clutter the system and make upgrades more difficult.
Someone suggested I create a Connect item, so I did. I submitted Allow User objects to be deprecated and went on my way. I posted a note and got a few votes.
The other day I got a note back from the system that someone had responded at MS:
This is indeed an interesting idea, and it dovetails nicely with some thoughts we've been having around managing the surface area of database apps. No promises for this release, but it is definitely something we will consider.
It's always nice to get some feedback and feel that someone is looking at our suggestions. I do hope this isn't a standard message, but from what I've seen on the few dozen items I've voted on or submitted, I get a personal message from an individual.
