Number input deprecation strategy

[micahchiang]

Description

In order to diligently prepare teams for number input deprecation, we need to provide them with proper strategy. This includes communicating out a timeline for when the deprecation will happen and guidance on how existing instances of va-number-input can be migrated to va-text-input

Considerations

• We probably want to take a multi-step approach to deprecating number input which might include:
  • step one: adding all non-overlapping functionality to va-text-input but keeping both components in production, allowing for some transition time
  • step two: conduct a follow up release that completely removes va-text-input

Tasks

• Establish a future date for steps one and two under considerations
• Write a guide for how teams can migrate from va-number-input to va-text-input
• Send out communication in #vfs-change-announcements for the above information
