What’s our plan for removing the legacy Catalyst export wizard? I’m referring to the **Generate Script -deprecated** and **Data Extract Writers -deprecated** menu options.

I plan to remove them before 5.7. It won’t be this week though. Besides just taking them out of the GUI, I will remove the infrastructure behind them that we will no longer use.

thanks! look forward to it. Should cleanup the macOS dashboard further as the wizard don’t work well with the testing infrastructure on macOS.
