[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

Michael,

somehow I did not notice that CUPS browsing is deprecated.

Could you explain some details about it, in particular
the reasons behind why CUPS browsing is deprecated and
if something else should replace it.

Is there a central documentation on cups.org where future
changes are listed - in particular incompatible changes - so
that CUPS users, other software developers (e.g. developers
for printing related software like printer setup tools and
printing stuff in Gnome, KDE, LibreOffice,...), and CUPS
package maintainers at the Linux distributors could better
know in advance what changes are planned.
