I'd suggest maybe two things: 1. If possible add deprecation warnings for the next release, and delete the release after (we don't have a formal policy but if would be good to give user heads up before out-right deletion). 2. If 1 isn't an option then please add something to the 6.0.0 release notes indicating the removal.
