Deprecate method "match" in routes.rb #5964

Description

@homakov

My proposal is to announce 'match' method in routes.rb as deprecated and later(e.g. rails 5.0) put it to "private methods" section.

It will encourage people to use "pure" restful methods-verbs like put post get etc and will raise knowledge of their meaning and goal. (GET for retrieving data, POST for state changing requests)

Why? - my points are described at http://homakov.blogspot.com/2012/04/whitelist-your-routes-match-is-evil.html

I would love to hear your viewpoint or just a few words on the subject, thanks for taking into account!
