Decorate is deprecated?

Can somebody tell me what this means? Does it mean that there won't be future updates to it? Or maybe that it will be removed completely? That seems disastrous! :?

Yes, and that's been the case for years now, since it was deprecated quite a while ago. All it gets is bugfixes, the only new things it gets are some new functions, and that's only because DECORATE just uses any functions defined in ZScript.
Deprecation in the context of ZDoom and GZDoom simply means there won't be any more updates and using that feature is not recommended or supported.
Or maybe that it will be removed completely?
No. Modding features don't get removed unless they haven't shown up in a stable release, and are actively causing problems.

Thank you for clarifying that! I had been wondering for days!
