As soon as we say deprecated, the justifications for backwards
compatibility become tenuous. If a sender has no reasonable expectation
that most validators will respect their request, why would they make such a
request (other than in ignorance). I think very few would argue that using
percent is a long term strategy for any given domain. Either percent is
useful or it is not.
