I propose to deprecate the builtin pastebin plugin. This plugin provides the following functionality:
--pastebin=mode Send failed|all info to bpaste.net pastebin service
(actually the URL changed to bpa.st a while back).
As an alternative, let's create a pytest-pastebin plugin under pytest-dev and point users to that in the deprecation message.
Reasons:
- Very niche functionality
- Probably very low usage (I can't prove it)
- Only thing in pytest which does network access (I think)
- Favors a particular external service
- The bpa.st service doesn't seem to have any privacy policy
If we accept this proposal, I can do the work (create the new new external plugin and deprecate in core).
