Description

WAGI is rarely used and imposes a large maintenance burden on Spin. I propose that we make the breaking change of deprecating support for WAGI. Some discussion around this has already happened in this Slack thread in the CNCF Slack.

Ivan raised a good point in the thread that we should be cautious about WAGI usage in downstream Spin hosted services. It would make sense to encourage those to deprecate WAGI first before we eventually deprecate WAGI in Spin.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the linked Slack discussion and assessing WAGI usage in downstream Spin hosted services; done means establishing a deprecation plan for those services before deciding how support should be deprecated in Spin.
