Removal cannot be default. This came up in the subtickets of CASSANDRA-18306. I suggest that adding " forRemoval = true" and the later actual removal of the code both require broader consensus. I'm open to that being on the ticket or needing a thread on the ML. Small stuff, common sense says on the ticket is enough, but a few folk have already stated that deprecated code that has minimal maintenance overhead should not be removed.
