All methods not used as entry points by :php:`TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Http\RouteDispatcher` will be removed or set to protected in v10 and throw deprecation warnings if used from a third party: * [not scanned] :php:`process()` Impact ====== Calling above method on an instance of :php:`UserSettingsController` will throw a deprecation warning in v9 and a PHP fatal in v10. Affected Installations ====================== The extension scanner will find all usages, but may also find some false positives. Migration ========= In general, extensions should not instantiate and re-use controllers of the core. Existing usages should be rewritten to be free of calls like these. .. index:: Backend, PHP-API, PartiallyScanned
