I would say a ML discussion or even a Jira issue is enough because
a) the methods are already deprecated
b) the methods are @PublicEvolving, which I don't consider a super
strong guarantee to users (we still shouldn't remove them lightly, but
we can if we have to...)

Hi dev,
Currently I want to remove some already deprecated methods from
TableEnvironment which annotated with @PublicEnvolving. And I also created
a discussion thread [1] to both dev and user mailing lists to gather
feedback on that. But I didn't find any matching rule in Flink bylaw [2] to
follow. Since this is definitely a API breaking change, but we already
voted for that back in the FLIP which deprecated these methods.
I'm not sure about how to proceed for now. Looks like I have 2 choices:
1. If no one raise any objections in discuss thread in like 72 hours, I
will create a jira to start working on it.
2. Since this is a API breaking change, I need to open another FLIP to tell
that I want to remove these deprecated methods. This seems a little
redundant with the first FLIP which deprecate the methods.
What do you think?
Best,
Kurt
