I'm proposing the removal of the
ExtendSectorExpiration
method from the miner actor.This method has been effectively (not technically) deprecated since the introduction of
ExtendSectorExpiration2
in FIP-0045, which provides the same functionality with greater flexibility and support for verified claims.As of right now, on-chain analysis shows that the last
ExtendSectorExpiration
message was processed on December 15, 2024:This proposal follows a similar pattern to FIP-0101 (see discussion #1116), which proposes removing the
ProveCommitAggregate
method that was superseded byProveCommitSectors3
.The proposed removal would help reduce technical debt and simplify the protocol without impacting current operations, as all functionality is already covered by
ExtendSectorExpiration2
. Storage providers and tooling have already migrated to using the newer method, making this a safe change.It's important to note that this FIP does not remove the ability to extend sectors - it only removes the redundant legacy method while preserving full functionality through the more flexible
ExtendSectorExpiration2
method.Proposed FIP content: #1137
