@PeterSommerlad @vitaut There are two things wrong there:

1. We can do this for strstream *finally* after it being basically obsolete for 25+ years
2. Still many new code bases have started using strstream - caught one myself last year - and will keep doing so.

We need something to mark things as "do not use" way before that 25 year mark, and one that actually prevents it from being used unlike the second.

@Gina Definitely include how it is impossible to do most common human things like "participate in a sports club", " register for fitness timeslot", "identify to government" and "see bank balance" without installing something from Google Play or Apple App. Plus you need to update those every few weeks, as many devs will cut off access to old versions within weeks, and send out incremental updates weekly.

Right now many places that are not Goog or Apple infested do that by extracting the apps. Goog is making it impossible to do that starting September, effectively forcing its way onto everyone in most countries that would like to exist.

The EU, IMO, needs to require all public services to be available without any path tying it to Google, Apple or any other specific company. With particular emphasis on not forcing reliance on foreign and/or huge companies.
