Yeah, I don't think we need to deprecate it. If we get configure to
report an error straightaway it will be obviuous to developers what
they need to change to adapt.

Sufficient to just announce on the mailing list that we intend todo
it in the start of the next dev cycle. Gives developers plenty of
time to adapt, and it will be in the release notes for the next
release to alert downstream consumers.
