[platform-update-dev] Link File Status

[Pat McCarthy <patmc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Link files still work, but we know the
UI and the command API allow for the same end result.

Given the recent "deprecated"
Q  I'll ask the same about link files.  Is there use in 3.0 supported
but deprecated or just supported (implying it will be supported in 3.1).

I've not seen anything in the doc that
suggested link file deprecation, in fact the "Product extensions"
topic still highlights the use of the link file vs the command API, so
that may indicate the answer.

I ask as I've been leaning toward telling
other teams not to use the link file approach for new installers, as I
thought you'd thought of it as deprecated.... 

Any guidance/attitude.
