I'm sure that someone would find the additional control that your suggestion gives useful, but it really sounds overly complicated to me. Deprecation needs to work smoothly, but it's also a feature that shouldnt' be needed very often, so it's not something that should be particularly complicated. And Walter doesn't seem to like the idea of complicating it more than it currently is _at all_ beyond adding the ability to give a custom message to deprecated. So, if any changes beyond that are going to be made, it looks like they're _really_ going to need to pull their weight and have a very solid argument for their inclusion. - Jonathan M Davis
