Eventual Deprecation in favor of Year Only

Problem/Motivation

I started Year → as an alternative to Year Only → which, at the time, was not actively maintained. I have since become a co-maintainer of Year Only, and, since it has a much larger user base, it makes sense to combine the two very similar modules.

Proposed resolution

1. Bring Year Only to feature parity with Year.
2. Provide a migration path from Year to Year Only.
3. Deprecate Year.

Remaining tasks in Year Only

• ✨ Allow flexible "from" and "to" (min/max) year ranges Needs work
• ✨ Select/Options formats in views as exposed filter Needs work
• Ensure proper maintainership ✨ Offering to maintain or own Year Only Active
• ✅ #3145858: Add sort order option to default widget →
• ✅ ✨ Feeds Integration Needs review

Timeline

The timeline is currently unknown, but I hope to work on this in the coming weeks.
