Undeprecate annotate?

[anntzer]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
coverage annotate has been deprecated, which a suggestion to get in touch if it is still in use.
I don't absolutely need annotate, but it is nice to have for a self-contained solution on CI (not relying on external services such as codecov) for relatively small projects with already high coverage; e.g. one can easily use it to print out just the non-covered lines and their context with something like grep -C2 '^!' **/*,cover.

Describe the solution you'd like
Undeprecate annotate.

Describe alternatives you've considered
External services such as codecov are always available, of course.

Additional context

A number of people have written in to say they still use annotate. Perhaps I will change the message to something like, "this feature won't get much attention, look into alternatives" or something...

Hi.

I use to use this report. That's really useful to improve and tune some tests.

The documentation also talk about taking a look at "alternatives".

But there is none. The html report for example is just about statistics.
annotate is a line by line report.

My question is, is there alternatives, in case?

But there is none. The html report for example is just about statistics. annotate is a line by line report.

Each line in the HTML report is clickable, showing the lines in the file, with more details than are available in the annotate report.

Ah, nice. Thanks for the information.
