We don't have an explicit policy on the version in which we introduce discourage statements. Since this is non-breaking and it's better to get the info out earlier, I pointed to the next micro release. |
The arrow() design is broken beyond repair. Even though we currently only have to offer `annotate` as a workaround, we should make the limitations more prominent then just a note and we should steer users away. This is a a step towards deprecation (matplotlib#20387). Unfortunately the discussion of a replacement has stalled (matplotlib#22435) and we have to revive it later. But that shound not hold us from pointing out the flaws of arrow() more prominently.
