Structured Discussions/Deprecation

StructuredDiscussions (SD - Flow) are used on a few wikis. This extension is not maintained. DiscussionTools (DT) are the default discussion system on wikis now.

The Growth team (SD maintainers) and the Editing team (DT maintainers) have started jointed thinking on how to depreciate StructuredDiscussions (and possibly LiquidThreads) and replace them by DiscussionTools.

The idea is to have DiscussionTools providing equivalent features of what StructuredDiscussions offers, so that current SD users would switch to DT.

This project has no formal deadline or plan.
