This sounds like an incredibly breaking change. I support it in general, I
think, but it seems like another feature that makes sense for Racket

For those of us who are pained deeply by `#:abc`, being able to use
`:abc` would be a big aesthetic improvement for Racket.

(Packages are supposed to be backward
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that, in the
context of Racket at least, "deprecated" implies that we will be
removing that code in the near-ish future. As we recently did for, e.g.,
class100.
My understanding is also that we don't want to remove things like
mzscheme, mzli
