Gate substantial changes with a one-page RFC: 24 checks, five sections, a frontmatter schema and a linter that holds the 400-word page.

Deprecate with dates CI enforces: 22 checks, a JSON registry, a checker that fails on overdue removals, notice generation and a codemod.
The share link includes source tracking so LinkedIn traffic stays measurable in analytics.
