REQUIRE file still needed?

General Usage
1

Hi,
since https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/849 is closed now, is a REQUIRE file still needed when i want to publish my package to the Julia registry? If it is obsolete by now can I safely remove it for an already published package? Using latest Julia 1.2.

Best regards,
Jan

Yes, and yes.

The one exception is (I think) if you want to continue to support Julia versions <=0.6, but I’m guessing that applies to very few packages.
