Lowercase, please. Don't make this special magical keyword, let it resemble something natural. Also, please note that we're being specifically talking about things that are not 'deprecated' but 'removed'. We mark implementations 'deprecated' while still supporting them, 'removed' goes after we drop the support. Most importantly, we don't want people to start removing 'deprecated' impls from PYTHON_COMPAT randomly as that's only going to cause a lot of mayhem by unsatisfied USE-deps. They can remove them after they're 'removed' as then eclass ignores them and there's no dep problem. But we'll remove them ourselves since we have a script for that. -- Best regards, Michał Górny
