What is Obsolete in Bug life cycle?

Obsolete is an attribute you can place on a class or a method in a class. It will issue a warning or an error on compilation.

[System.Obsolete(string argument 1, Boolean argument 2)
Argument 1 is a warning statement to display such as, "Hey stop using this! Use my brand new method instead."
Argument 2 is a Boolean that if set to true will issue an error instead of a warning. This argument is optional and it defaults to display a warning instead of an error.

Use this if you want to inform developers to use a new replacement method when the old method is left in place to keep old code that might be using the old method from breaking.
