Note that there's certain value in replacing the obsolete functions. There **is** even a way how to **remove** the deprecated API methods, while retaining backwards compatibility -- the same technique as it was used to remove for example `extractComponent` public method from the `InternalHandle` SPI can be useful here. But it's definitely not just 'remove deprecated method'. I'd suggest to create a project as an umbrella to this and other similar issues and / or PRs, and plan in advance for a 'cleanup release': each module affected by task/issue in that project should be carefully reviewed and cleaned up, since the overhead of compatibly-moving a method off the main distribution is high. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
