+1. That is about what I had in mind. The <note> at the top could be improved a little. Something along the lines, "This module was replaced in version 2.0.44 and greater by <module>mod_...</module> (and mod_...).

Absolutely essential before the next release. If it is simple it can go in upgrading.html. If it is complicated, it should get a separate doc and be linked from there. One more note: I'd like to see the rename of mod_access reversed. That just seems like a gratuitous change that hurts users and doesn't really help developers. Joshua.
