rule status

The Rule-.pyMethodStatus property indicates how a rule is used in the system. Options include:

API — Treat this rule as an interface that defines a standard set of parameters and behavior. Rules with this status most likely do not change in future releases.
Deprecated — Avoid using this rule. It no longer follows recommended development practices and may not be supported in a future release. Use supported alternatives.
Extension — Override this rule to meet your implementation class needs. Extension points are found in PRPC and frameworks.
Template — Use this rule as a starting point for newly created rules.

A blank status indicates there are no special use cases for a rule. You can update a rule's status by using options in the rule form header.
