Removing a feature from the C API is more complex, since there is no portable way to emit a deprecation warning at compilation. There is PyDEPRECATED() which seems to only be available on GCC (3.1 and newer).

It's at least possible with gcc, clang and MSVC: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/295120/c-mark-as-deprecated/295229#295229

You can even add a deprecation message.
