24313	Deprecate the class_prepared signal	Aymeric Augustin	nobody	"Since 1.7, whatever can be done in a `class_prepared` listener is probably better done by inspecting the app registry in `AppConfig.ready()`.

As the documentation notes, reacting to `class_prepared` is impractical because the app-loading and meta-refactor APIs don't work yet.

Even if we keep the signal — I once tried to refactor this area and it [https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/21719#comment:13 went downhill quickly] — I think we should remove it from the public API."	Cleanup/optimization	new	Core (Other)	dev	Normal				Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
