Feature Request: Deprecation Function that automates Deprecation Strategy

[bms63]

Feature Idea

A function that helps to remind us when a function should be removed from the code-base.

Essentially a wrapper function around deprecate_stop, deprecate_warn but also causes the package to be unable to build once the function is no longer kept inside admiral.

Maybe we could even implement an addin which adds the lifecycle badge ("deprecated" for warn and "defunct" for stop) and the standard deprecation text to the roxygen header.

This will require a lot of thought around how to do this! Be sure to reach out to discuss before taking this one.

While our manual process is a bit cumbersome, perhaps automating will prove even more cumbersome and challenging and a waste of effort.

I haven't heard of anyone else doing this in other tidyverse or R packages? @pharmaverse/admiral has anyone seen this? If not, I think we should close this one out.

I agree it's best here to stick with the standard manual process. While perhaps cumbersome now, we'll have fewer and fewer deprecations in our future. 🤞🏼

Going to close - but if folks come up with examples of seeing this in the wild or think it should remain in the backlog feel free to re-open.
