DSTU2 has the http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/us-core-county extension - that we use to represent the county in an address. I just noticed that there is Address.district though - and it is already available in DSTU2 and all later versions. Should we use that for the county?
Jason Walonoski (Apr 03 2019 at 15:20):
The description of that field in R4 is District name (aka county), so yes, I think county should go in there if you need it.
Michele Mottini (Apr 03 2019 at 15:43):
Thanks Jason. I am just a bit puzzled by the extension - why it even exist? Or is it a hold-over from DSTU1 maybe?
Lloyd McKenzie (Apr 03 2019 at 15:46):
We talked about removing it but apparently there are places where you can have both a district and a county. (Though adding some clarifying language to the extension that its use should be limited to that situation would be useful - feel free to submit a change request.)

Got it, thanks Lloyd

There is no need to make a CR is not in R4? we moved all the us-core extension out of the core build and got rid of this one and made religion a universal realm extension. how is an extension like this deprecated in a future version or does it live on?
Lloyd McKenzie (Apr 03 2019 at 19:00):
If you got rid of it, you should be fine
Eric Haas (Apr 03 2019 at 19:10):
my original point is there is no point in making a CR for a DSTU2 artifact.
Eric Haas (Apr 03 2019 at 19:10):
which this is
