I did create some aliases for you if you want to use them 🙂 practicalli/clojure-deps-edn

I don't know. I'm still running across users who don't even know about -X so they still expect -A to work as it always has (and they're sometimes very confused that -M has changed behavior). Like you, I feel -A has had that "legacy" behavior long enough at this point but I think we're more "leading edge" users than most Clojurians as far as the CLI goes?

As for the test runner, I've switched to -X for Cognitect's test-runner these days so -A:test just starts a REPL for me 🙂

I'm starting to think about thinking about removing the deprecation :)

preserve the old behavior? why?

And then have -A and -M be identical? Oh, hey, I guess -R could be used/extended/brought back to start a Repl! 🙂 🙂

In that case I'll wait a bit longer with upgrading my OSS CI configs ;)

sorry that was unclear, by "remove the deprecation" and I mean make it stop working

that is, no change in plans

Hahaha... OK, good. The sooner the better, IMO, but I understand that not all CLI users are there yet 🙂
