Personally, I wish org-id-find would not be removed, because I use it in
org-bookmark-heading, e.g.:

https://github.com/alphapapa/org-bookmark-heading/blob/master/org-bookmark-heading.el#L126

On the other hand, maybe this is a good time to see about getting
org-bookmark-heading into org itself, in which case whoever changes the
API would be responsible for updating it... ;)  WDYT?
