I wonder when I can use it. Because this will cause a
software naming problem.
Considering the deprecation period has ended then IMO it
should be able to be used as an identifier.
I would consider this a bug.
No, it's intentional.

It's still a keyword according to that. I'm assuming a future
release will remove the error, and then you can use it as a
symbol.

To be honest, it's not clear that it's intentional from the
description of the changelog. It just says using the keyword will
result in an error, not using the keyword as an identifier, which
isn't the same at all.
