Strawman: Evaluate the cost and risk to us by having to keep the code. Weigh that against the effort it takes for users to adjust their prod systems, and assume they are many orders of magnitude more than us. Anything that is public (user-facing) and is isolated code having little cost to it should just be left. > I think that what is "private" might go away in 5.x easily. > Yes.
