Best way to deprecate mod parts

[Stone Blue]

So a search didnt really turn up much on the subect...
Anyway, i'm wondering what are the best methods to deprecate parts in a mod, without breaking people's pre-existing saves and craft files...

And I would prefer to have the part icons *completely* removed from the editor.
I've set category to 99, so the parts dont initially show in editor... however they still show in some of the editor filters...

Any suggestions would be appreciated...

Oh, and I know WildBlue Ind. mods do it with custom code... trying to avoid a coding solution, and hoping for a cfg or patch way to do it... or... ??

If you're going tat path,then set category:

category = none

Thanx for the response @sebi.zzr , unfotunately, tho... that still doesnt exclude the parts from showing in any of the editor filters...

Anyone have any other ideas? vOv

So,what if you do it like this:

TechRequired = Unresearcheable
entryCost = 0
cost = 0
category = none
subcategory = 0
