To me, and I believe most people, "obsolete" does *not* mean "we can drop support right now".  It just means it is time to deprecate it.  The way that happens for wire formats (at least those who have a version marker) is always the same:

From Merriam-Webster's online dictionary:

"obsolete: no longer in use or no longer useful."

Yes, if something is obsolete it is to be dropped. You are confusing obsolete with obsolescent:

"obsolescent: going out of use : becoming obsolete"

If it's obsolescent, deprecate it. If it's obsolete, get rid of it.
