* then change the macro parameter in features.macro to

* the scope of these instructions.
* 5) If a supported feature (`Supported::yes`) was _ever_ in a released
* version, it can never be changed back to `Supported::no`, because
* it _may_ still become enabled at any time. This would cause newer
* versions of `rippled` to become amendment blocked.
* Instead, to prevent newer versions from voting on the feature, use
* `VoteBehavior::Obsolete`. Obsolete features can not be voted for
* by any versions of `rippled` built with that setting, but will still
* work correctly if they get enabled. If a feature remains obsolete
* for long enough that _all_ clients that could vote for it are
* amendment blocked, the feature can be removed from the code
* as if it was unsupported.
*
* 5) A feature marked as Obsolete can mean either:
* 1) It is in the ledger (marked as Supported::yes) and it is on its way to
* become Retired
* 2) The feature is not in the ledger (has always been marked as
* Supported::no) and the code to support it has been removed
*
* If we want to discontinue a feature that we've never fully supported and
* the feature has never been enabled, we should remove all the related
* code, and mark the feature as "abandoned". To do this:
*
* 1) Open features.macro, move the feature to the abandoned section and
* change the macro to XRPL_ABANDON
*
* When a feature has been enabled for several years, the conditional code
* may be removed, and the feature "retired". To retire a feature:
