I don't think we need to set any firm ground rules for the deprecation timeline but should consider each change individually. A reasonable rule of thumb is to remove deprecated features no sooner than 1 minor release after the deprecation notice was added. Ideally, it should be in a major release.
I think we should have a firm rule, such as: At every major version we grep through the code base for stuff marked as deprecated and if there is not a really really good reason someone comes up with its out. Any rule should be superseded by common sense anyways. regards, Lukas
