Hmmm.... I'm not going to vote, because I do believe that DCValue needs to
go.
We have structures for MetadataValue which (iirc) were put in place when we
allowed multiple metadata schemas to be registered. It's wrong to have
things lying around that suggest they are Dublin Core, when they aren't.
But I do agree with the timing principle. In essence, it ideally shouldn't
have been deprecated unless it was already in a position to be removed in a
subsequent release. I can see the value in indicating that it shouldn't be
used, so that it can be removed later - but we're not even really at that
stage, as there are times where you have to use it.
Ultimately, I don't think this is a decision we should be making - or at
least acting on - now. But maybe say that by the time of the next release,
either we've made enough progress that DCValue is entirely optional, and
can be removed in the following release, or we possibly make it
undeprecated for the next release (which is only the work of minutes
anyway).
