FWIW Python has been successfully deprecating and removing identifiers
for about a decade. They warn for maybe one or two release cycles
(ie, in an x.y.z scheme, from x.y.z to x.y+2.0), then the obsolete
name gets a one-way ticket to a senior community in Arizona.
However, they also support a full release cycle older than the current
release, plus security updates (source-only) for two release cycles
before that.
