@rwjblue @bertdeblock How about we move the docs currently in the "Allowing Default Action" section into the documentation for the property itself, and mark the property as @private? That way the documentation can still technically be found if someone needs it but we avoid marking it as @public just to have it deprecated soon after.

Reading the docs again – I suppose there is case to be made for keeping this even if @tagName is deprecated. In theory, you may want a link to act like an "ember link" most of the time, except when certain condition is true, then you want it to actually trigger a full page reload. Something like this:

<LinkTo @route="dashboard" @preventDefault={{this.requiresRefresh}}>
  Return to dashboard
</LinkTo>

Where this.requiresRefresh is conditionally true, perhaps when the user is a new sign up that just finished the on boarding process, something like that.

If someone wants to make the case for it, I think it wouldn't cost much to keep the functionality around. Personally, I think it's not really needed, and there are probably better ways of accomplishing that without using <LinkTo>, so I am still leaning towards deprecating it, but I could go either way on that.

I opened a PR on the RFC repo to amend this if we want to go forward: emberjs/rfcs#710

This sounds good to me. I don't have any incentive to keep this functionality around, but of course maybe other people do. Let me know when / if I should update this PR to move the docs 👍.

I think you can go ahead, if we ended up wanting to make it public it's easy enough to change the tag.

Moved the docs (hopefully I understood it correctly). Let me know if anything.

Gentle ping. Anything left I should take care of?
