Currently, ] is labeled as "being deprecated", meaning its use is still allowed, but discouraged. From a peak of around 900,000 uses, the property now has around 700,000 uses (see status ). Our goal is to reduce that as much as possible in a systematic way, while ensuring that appropriate properties exist to replace all valid uses of ]. The latter is key to officially deprecating the property. Before ''removing'' the property, we want to get as close to zero uses as possible.
