Well deprecation is intended to give users of said procedures a heads up and allows them to change their code in advance. Since this is all internal API, I don't see the merit of such a process. Maybe it's nitpicking but I call this conversion simple refactoring which by itself also comes with costs and effort. >> But user/egg code should still not use it, of course. > > A longer-term effort would be to migrate these names out of the > "chicken" module and into a "##sys" module, so that they are only > imported explicitly. This may be possible once the core has been confined inside a namespace which is a lenghty goal as another thread on this list has elaborated.
