If - as seems likely - this deprecation notice makes it into the 17.02
release, I would just ask that the actual removal of the code *not* take
place at the start of the 17.05 release cycle, to be sure to give
further additional grace period for someone to respond to this. I think
it is only fair to wait till just before the RC's are produced to remove
the code, given it is such a drastic step, and the official notice of
removal is only inserted right before 17.02 goes out.
