NAK.

I'm certainly not opposed to removing the API's if they are truly no longer
needed.  But they have been codified as part of the ABI, so the deprecation
schedule needs to be followed.  Given what you've said above, it seems like that
might be worthwhile anyway, as it will provide the needed runway to allow users
to convert to the new API.
