 +
It can be difficult to keep up these developments without any notice. Is there any plan to ensure that a similar problem doesn’t happen again?

 +
Meli melo is a way to experiment. Principal Publisher gives departments a checklist, and we’re here to help. It’s not a service that will expire that we can give notices about.
 +
 +
If a deprecated Meli-melo stays on the page, it doesn’t necessarily mean that pages will break.
