Thanks for checking in Duncan. I don't believe we have a guideline on this.
We have code.bioconductor.org <http://code.bioconductor.org> that
facilitates search of the entire codebase. If
you provide a list of the functions that should not be used, I will see
about making
a focused message to the developers who need to change their code.
Thanks Vince.
I have sent individual email messages to the BioC packages that look
problematic: BioNet, destiny, MAIT, SpacePAC, triplex, and xcms, so I
don't think you need to do so. But I may have missed some.
The list of functions to be deprecated is fairly long. It's in the
first news item here:
https://dmurdoch.github.io/rgl/dev/news/index.html
This isn't released yet; I'll probably be sending it to CRAN in a week
or two.
I'll email all reverse dependency maintainers, whether I have spotted
issues or not, to warn them to watch out.

It really is up to the contributing developers to be aware of effects of
upstream changes,
but this is an opportunity for us to be a little more proactive about
notifying contributors
of events that could break packages in the release branch.
We can communicate about the details off line and then get back to the
list about the
basic process. Or, if you want to handle the communications, go ahead
-- BiocPkgTools
has some utilities that may be relevant.

To BioC Devel:
I'm updating the rgl package. I think about 30 Bioconductor packages
depend on it, and some of them are using obsolete functions which are
going to be deprecated in the next release. I'd like to inform those
maintainers so their packages still work.
Are there specific BioC guidelines for how I should inform them, or is
it just like CRAN, do what the DESCRIPTION file says?
