Hi everyone, Thank you for responding to my email.
Looking at the responses, I guess I should directly open tickets - one for deprecating in 4.0.2 (just warning and documenting it) and one for the removal/providing interface for trunk? Do we need more formal voting or anything else that I might be missing? Seems there is a consensus?
