Deprecate

[phated]

We are using chokidar directly in gulp 4, so we should probably deprecate this library.

@phated Do you have access on npm? I think we should hold off until we publish 4.0 since it will log deprecation warnings for everyone with 3.x installed

[phated]

@contra yeah, I have access. I agree that it shouldn't be deprecated until 4.0 release

[phated]

Not going to deprecate this after all. We needed an abstraction for gulp.watch to allow debouncing and queueing.

H @phated , sorry if this thread is not the right one but couldn't find a better one without opening a new issue

I've been using gulp v4 for awhile, at the moment (4.0.2), but every time I install the dependencies on my package.json I get a few warnings of deprecation and upon further investigation I came across that one of them was related to this package which is still using chokidar 2.1.8 (a deprecated version, when the latest version is 3.4.0)

The warning screenshot:

The location of chokidar is at in my dependencies:

Is this accurate about the version? Can you guys update this or this is going to stay like this?
