G'day hippo,

"The "API" link at the top of the MetaCPAN pages has https://fastapi.metacpan.org/ as its target."

Yes, you are correct; however, given that's exactly the same target that I used for the "API" link in the second paragraph of my OP, I don't understand why you thought it necessary to state that. Perhaps I've misunderstood your intent. Just to be clear, the "API" links at the top of MetaCPAN pages and in my OP, both have the same target: https://fastapi.metacpan.org/.

The purpose of the three sentences in the second paragraph were:

  1. Here's something that's changed which I knew about.
  2. Here's something that's changed which I discovered as part of my research.
  3. There may be other things that have changed which I don't yet know about — please tell me.
"They are from seven years ago and a lot can change in that time, after all."

That's sort of my point: a lot can change and I don't know if I'm aware of all changes.

"I presume at that point you then followed the "watch the actual talk" link."

Yes, that's the "YAPC video" link in my OP. While watching it, I decided to follow along with the MetaCPAN::API documentation to supplement what was being talked about: that's when I discovered the deprecation notice.
