Description: ------------ We should have an option to set the warning message box on package pages (the one that displays messages that a given package is deprecated or unmaintained) to a free-form text string to cope with situations where the current list of options is insufficient. Two examples of this are: - HTML_QuickForm, which has been superseded by an alpha package, and would be better described by a message pointing users to the new package if they want to live on the bleeding edge. - DB, where I'd really like to be able to include a message saying that support will cease in August (as discussed on pear-dev a while back) in addition to the deprecation message. I'm sure there are others. We did discuss this as part of the QuickForm issue on pear-dev about a month ago, but it doesn't look like anyone actually opened a feature request. (If they did, I haven't found it with a search, and I apologise for the dupe.)
