Abstract
This EIP deprecates the SELFDESTRUCT opcode and warns against its use. A breaking change to this functionality is likely to come in the future.
Motivation
Discussions about how to change SELFDESTRUCT are ongoing. But there is a strong consensus that something will change.
Specification
Documentation of the SELFDESTRUCT opcode is updated to warn against its use and to note that a breaking change may be forthcoming.
Rationale
As time goes on, the cost of doing something increases, because any change to SELFDESTRUCT will be a breaking change.
The Ethereum Blog and other official sources have not provided any warning to developers about a potential forthcoming change.
Backwards Compatibility
This EIP updates non-normative text in the Yellow Paper. No changes to clients is applicable.
Security Considerations
None.
