Problem/Motivation

For the following classes:

We should decide where to put these classes for better decoupling and/or more explicit dependencies when the dependencies do exist.

Proposed resolution

  • Decide on the correct locations for these classes.
  • To preserve BC, the existing classes should become direct, deprecated subclasses of the correct location. For example, if we decide Url should go in NewNamespace:
    namespace Drupal\Core;

/**
 * Defines an object that holds information about a URL.
 *
 * @deprecated as of 8.0.0 and will be removed 9.x. Use Drupal\NewNamespace\Url instead.
 */
class Url extends Drupal\NewNamespace\Url { }

    Then core just adds the updated use statements as needed.

Remaining tasks

Decide what to do, then patch.

User interface changes

None.

API changes

No BC break.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
