Thanks Ryan for pushing this through (pun not intended..)

What timeline did y'all have in mind for deprecation and removal? Any
progress on the public communication front discussed earlier
<https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msgid/blink-dev/CAOMQ%2Bw-rNUrRaBKE5YKZ8DFRvoO3L2e6ojgzKJyLp5MS4BQXqw%40mail.gmail.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer>
?

Cheers :)
