I think a deprecated API is no longer API after a major version increment. The
deprecated symbols can be removed anytime after the major release with merely a
notice in the release notes. I think its unrealistic to expect all deprecated
symbols be removed for the x.0 release.

Given that this API was effectively deprecated in version 0 of Geode and was
never part of the release API in 1 it is fair game now. Time should not be a
factor, just major version number.
