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. Neil
