Hi Reshma,

Let's send this deprecation note as an independent patch, i.e. outside of this patch set. The deprecation notes are discussed and merged separately, so let's not create a potential barrier for this patchset because of this deprecation note.

Of course, the deprecation note needs at least 3 acks, so please put my ack.

Regards,
Cristian
