Deprecation means it'll be removed.
Hmm, maybe I've misunderstood the deprecation process. It was
my understanding
that, to remove a feature or function, it was necessary to
deprecate it first;
but that deprecation would not necessarily always lead to
deletion.
I may be thinking too specifically of Phobos, where it's
obviously much easier
to deprecate a module without ever removing it.
Deprecation is a way station on the way to removal. Warnings
are not necessarily headed that way.
I beg forgiveness, but I think it was a timid suggestion to clean
up a bit Phobos...
