As a site builder, how can I learn when modules I use are (going to be) deprecated? I have a site that uses a relatively large number of modules (100+).  I do my best to keep up-to-date but recently I have become a little alarmed because I found that Heartbeat and Custom Breadcrumbs, two modules I use on my site, are likely to be deprecated in the near future.

I learned about Heartbeat's deprecation by visiting the module's page by chance when I was checking the documentation.  I learned about Custom Breadcrumbs possibly being deprecated from a comment here on Drupal Answers.

At the time I installed these modules (early last year), they were the most popular in their respective categories.  Heartbeat's maintainer was active and making releases every few weeks.

Now, a year later, they are being deprecated in favor of other modules.  I understand the reason for this, and I'm happy to migrate my site over to the replacement modules (well, maybe not happy, but I'll do it)-- however, I can't do this if I'm not informed that modules are going to be deprecated.  I only found out about these two by chance!

Is there any central resource that keeps track of deprecated modules?  Since I use so many, checking issue queues or even module's pages is not really a feasible option.
You could subscribe with RSS to tag data on projects such as:


Maintenance status: Unsupported
Development status: No further development


That can give you notice of deprecation assuming the relevant tag has been assigned to the project.
