There are times when public API members must be deprecated or its signature must be changed. In this case, we can not remove or modify public members, because other application that depend on these APIs may become broken and/or uncompilable. If you’d like to supersede a public member, you can use a special attribute called ‘Obsolete’. The Obsolete attribute marks an API member as one that is no longer recommended for use.
