Yes, it was announced in 16.11 that these functions will be removed so I believe they can be safely removed in17.02. > In this case, it is a code move: copy, rework and delete in the same patch. > And yes, the deprecation notice must be removed at the same time. I will add the deletes in a v2 of the patchset. Regards, Bernard.
