~~Blender 4.0 being a major release, it is a good opportunity to remove the old STL I/O add-on, since there is now a compiled implementation for this format in Blender.~~

STL C++ IO is still incomplete, even if it gets finished for 4.0 there should be a few releases of overlap before the add-on is removed.

C++ STL exporter was added to 4.1. At some point it would be good to mark the python one as legacy, remove experimental label from C++ one, and then after a bit more time to remove the python one. Not sure which Blender release that would be for though.

@aras_p If the current C++ export code is considered as production-ready and on feature-parity with the add-on, think we can mark the add-on as deprecated for 4.1 already. And likely remove it after the next LTS is released (i.e. after 4.2)?

@mont29 yes, this in fact has already happened after I wrote that comment. In 4.1, STL C++ I/O had experimental label removed, and Python addon got legacy label added.
