It's past time to deprecate the Sequence Structure!

I find it rather depressing how so many of the new user questions contain code that is just a big Stacked Sequence structure.

 

Leave the Sequence Structure there for compatibility with old (poorly written) programs, and deprecate it.

 

Warn users with a pop-up or the big red X like the old "Write To Spreadsheet vi" or something that this is an old outdated programming structure that should be avoided!

I mean right now it's not even on the palettes, you have to place a flat sequence structure and right-click replace with stacked sequence.

 

I guess you could remove that right-click option entirely but keep it as a resource so it's only accessible through scripting?

Yes you could. And I did. 🙂
