The general "good form" policy as I understand it is to deprecate APIs
which are going to go away, leave them for at least one release cycle,
and then drop them. I totally agree that if a change is going to
happen, we should just do it - but "do it" should include one release of
deprecation, in general, unless it's an API that really doesn't get a
lot of use.
So +1 to deprecate these APIs now (for 1.1.1) then get rid of them in
1.2.
