mark deprecated because of polymer-cli

polymer serve

[TimvdLippe]

polymer-cli uses this package internally, so it is actually not deprecated.

[FredKSchott]

@TimvdLippe is correct, polymer-cli uses polymer serve internally. But I agree that the CLI should be recommended in the README (/w the difference explained).

I wonder if we want to remove the CLI interface from polyserve altogether

[FredKSchott]

+1 from me, no reason for support the same interface in two places

[TimvdLippe]

I am actually still using polyserve in applications not generated by polymer-cli and I use it while testing patches on the core library. If you were to deprecate the CLI interface here (which I understand ofc), could you make sure that polymer serve can work just like I did with polyserve on for example the core library?

[justinfagnani]

@TimvdLippe yes, polymer serve works just like polyserve. The only difference is the existence of the other commands, and the large installation size. That may be enough reason to keep it.

[FredKSchott]

+1 for mentioning the CLI in the README for now (similar to https://github.com/Polymer/polymer-build#relationship-to-polymer-cli) and then revisiting polyserve's cli interface once polymer-cli reaches v1.0.
