i think he pretty much did that without using the word 'deprecated'.
but using that word would be fine of course.

not really. it would require that Apache::compat is loaded at startup,
otherwise %ENV is restored to what it was before the request (minus
GATEWAY_INTERFACE) and it will never get set again since Apache/compat.pm
is in %INC. granted the suggested way to load Apache::compat is at
startup, our tests do not do that and there no reason we shouldn't support
modules that do:
package Apache::Foo;
eval { require Apache::compat };
...
