I think its much more likely that I'm the one missing something. Thanks for
going back and forth with me.

Assuming that the changes from the deprecation policy are in trunk now that
the alpha has landed, any use of the AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE must be eliminated
_before_ moving to 1.7, since they are not just deprecated, but _removed_
in 1.7. Migrating to 1.7 will _break_ code that uses it. This is normal and
expected.

Since the new migration system lands in 1.7, and AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE is
removed in 1.7, then it is clear that it won't be possible to use the new
migration system to do the custom migrations that may be required to stop
using the AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE.

Allowing one more release before AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE is removed would allow
him to use the new migration system to create a custom migration to migrate
away from using the profiles. Otherwise, he'd need to use South or go
through two code change cycles.

I hope this clears up either why you're confused, or why I am. I'm very
sorry if it's me, I hate to waste your time.
