[Codenarc-user] Deprecate GrailsSessionReferenceRule?

[Chris M. <chr...@ea...>]

I am considering deprecating the GrailsSessionReference rule as part of the
upcoming CodeNarc 0.9 release.
 
That rule seems to end up being more trouble than it's worth. It was
intended as a "governance" rule -- to allow some level of control and
oversight over where state was stored in the session. This might be useful
in a team environment where you have developers at different skill levels,
and you just want to make sure a (relatively) inexperienced developer does
not store things in the session that do not belong there.
 
But in practice, that has not been very helpful on my projects, and just
makes extra work. I've also heard from one other CodeNarc user who thought
this was "bad" rule as well.
 
I guess "deprecating" a rule means setting its "enabled" property to "false"
and documenting it as deprecated..
 
Let me know if there are any opinions, one way or the other.
