RE: [DISCUSS] Old platforms support deprecation

["Vladimir Kotikov (Akvelon)" <v-...@microsoft.com>]

Hey, guys.

I've opened a PR that adds a message about deprecation. Could anybody please review that? 

The only question I wanted to know your opinion on is where we should print this message. In the PR above cordova-lib will show it each time when polyfill is instantiated and this might be annoying a bit.
Another approach could be similar to deprecation messages for "wp8" and "amazon-fireos" - show message only when platform is added to project.

Thoughts?

Best regards, Vladimir

Just to chime in for Ubuntu to say that we're moving to the new PlatformAPI, but not ready just yet.
