It is pretty conservative to issue a pending warning now, a deprecation warning in 2.4, and remove the duplicate method in 2.5.

No, it is not conservative to add a warning in a maintenance branch, pending or not. Even changing the documentation only would not be conservative.

It might be sensible (which I think it is not), but it is not conservative.
