I don't think we should be in a rush to drop deprecated things. Java,
for example, deprecates a lot of things but drops them very rarely. And
I think it's one of the things they got right - deprecation tells you we
don't recommend using it, but if you still need it for some reason we
didn't think of - we won't block you.
