The policy should also be, if someone decides (or rather, implements) a deprecation of a module, they should do a grep to see where that module is used and fix the code.  It's not rocket science.

I'm not sure if you're aware of it, but you're starting to sound a little rude.

ISTM that it doesn't make sense to waste effort ensuring that deprecated code is updated to not call other deprecated modules. Of course, all released non-deprecated code should steer clear of deprecated apis.
