Hi @MalathiVangalapati Thanks for the list. I took a quick glance at the proposed list and here is some preliminary feedback: > [@](#): > > For now, here’s a preliminary list of libraries that will be deprecated in Confluence versions 8.7 to 8.9. Rest assured, we’ll continue to keep the community informed as we gather more specific details. > > - com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.\* `com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api` is an API (it even has “API” in the name 😉 ). Is the intent to remove this from use? If so, what is the suggested alternative for performing (for example) user searches? > [@](#): > > com.atlassian.json.\* `com.atlassian.json.marshal.Jsonable` is the return type in the API contract of WebResourceDataProvider classes. > [@](#): > > - com.atlassian.velocity `com.atlassian.velocity.htmlsafe.HtmlSafe` is a public annotation used when writing Velocity helpers. We also use some other parts of this package unrelated to annotations. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/include-exclude-list-for-rfc-24-data-center-grey-api-removal/75009)._
