Yes it is recommended to split library parts from split parts. The
problem
might be that nobody knows which script parts are reused by private
scripts.
We already did such transitions in the past.
- Creating new library.
- Archivebot takes the patterns from new library, but its own classes are
kept for a time, and write a deprecation message on user's console. 3. Half a year or a year transition time before they are removed.
I have to admit that I do not see a high priority for deprecation of user script parts [1] whereas I do for the library parts. This is because imho this is in the scope of the developer and I do not recommend to reuse script parts and refactoring and improving scripts might be unnecessary difficult to keep old code stuff. It is an essential difference between compat and core to have library parts separated from user scripts. We have some scripts to be moved to framework [2] (I guess there are some patches to review). Anyway there is a RfC when deprecated code could be removed. [3]
