[sc-dev] deprecate Date.bootSeconds?

[Tim Blechmann <tim@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

i wonder, what's the opinion of people to deprecate bootSeconds from the
Date class?

* it gives an arbitrary value which is not platform-independent
(probably time since startup on osx and time since epoch everywhere else)
* its value is only monotonic under osx
* it is not documented

in short: every code that depends on it is fragile and one should
probably use rawSeconds instead ...

thoughts?

tim
