GGG Killed Weapon Crafting - What Do We Do Now?

Last Night, in a late update to the 0.5.0 Patch Notes, GGG added a line that is perhaps the most significant nerf to crafting in PoE2's history, alongside the removal of homogenizing omens: "All crafted modifiers are now guaranteed, but items can only have 1 crafted modifier at a time. Desecrated modifiers no longer count as crafted modifiers, but items are limited to 1 Desecrated modifier." Although I'm comfortable with basic crafting options, I felt it was important to reach out to a friend -- ‪@wesdesu‬ -- who spends a lot of his time crafting and trading, to get the nuances from someone who engages those systems more.
