Shall we do this right away with 1.15.0 or should we declare it "deprecated, will be removed in 1.16.x"? We discussed the Perl version almost two years ago [1] and consensus was to remove it but I don't think we ever announced it. Consensus in the thread was that the interactive features probably were not in much use and the non-interactive features are already replaced by the py version. I can live with either option but I think it is important that it is a conscious decision since we remove something that is still functional (and which might not have a direct replacement, pending the outcome of the backport.py discussion).
