During the beta and RC cycle, the deprecations will be removed after one release. This means that the final 1.0 release will be deprecation free.
We'll then continue to process for the 1.1, 1.2, ... releases. For example, in 1.3 we will remove all deprecations introduced in 1.1. Minor releases like 1.0.1, 1.1.2 should not need any additional deprecation as they will exist only to fix bugs.
