Hi Seb! Everything looks ok from my side: Compiled successfully from the release-2.4 tag. Tests passed and ran a small crawl.
+1 from my side. Small detail. I would probably change a couple of details in the deprecation notice. If it is ok with you I can send a PR for this later today. But since I see the deprecation notice after the release I think we're good to go.
