Deprecation warnings and the native extension migration

[marc0der]

Many folks may have heard that we are in the process of moving to a native Rust implementation for our CLI. Many of you are already using this without even realising it, and that is a big victory in itself 🎉

If you are curious about what that entails and how we are using the Strangler Pattern to achieve this, you can read all about it in this discussion over at our native CLI repo.

Several commands have already been ported to Rust, leaving the old shadowed/eclipsed commands dormant underneath. If, for some or other reason, you are using an unsupported platform, the CLI gracefully falls back to the old bash commands. In cases like these, you will now see a deprecation notice to warn you that you are on an unsupported platform.

If you do see such a notice, please open an issue immediately on our Native CLI project so we can look into why your platform is not supported and see if we can remedy that situation.

We hope to make this transition as smooth as possible, with no or minimal disruption to our users. We're always available to chat, so if you have any further questions, please contact us on our community Discord server or leave us a note below.

Thanks!
