This unfortunately removes all previews. A follow up is needed to add it from GraphQL

[kfcampbell]

@wolfy1339 do you think it's worth a revert of this PR in the meantime? I'm not sure I understand the scope of the issue.

[wolfy1339]

I don't think a revert is warranted here.

We can probably handle it in the packages that have GraphQL themselves.

• @octokit/core
• @octokit/graphql
• octokit (octokit.js)

Types would need to be handled there

It looks like this broke plugin-enterprise-server.js as well - I should've taken a closer look and remembered that there are still old supported versions of GHE that have references to previews.

[nickfloyd]

On the upside, GHE 3.2 (which had the majority of the preview implementation is deprecated: https://docs.github.com/en/[email protected]/admin/all-releases

I'll need to check 3.3 (set to deprecate next week 01.18.2023) and 3.4 to make sure they are all gone from GHE versions - if that's the case we can just drop support for those versions as well and not rollback.

Thoughts?

[nickfloyd]

Update: Two instances have been left out in the REST API descriptions though they are defunct by v3.3.

@wolfy1339 It looks like we have two options here:

1. Revert
2. Clean up the files like this and deprecate v3.2 and v3.3 and move on.

Let me know your thoughts when you get the chance. Thanks!

Sounds good
