I think that should be done for 2.5, but nothing else. Or, perhaps a deprecation warning could be generated if it is still used. I'll let Martin decide this one.

I just sent a message to some that producing a DeprecationWarning is fine, but now I read some opposition; given that this really just needs very little code to support it, and given that run-time warnings annoy the users, not the module authors, I agree that this should stay silently until 3.0.

We should still continue to remove all uses we have ourselves.

Regards, Martin
