As I said before, having at least one version where the new versions
of the functions are available, and the old versions aren't giving
deprecation notices, is the 'cleanest' way of refactoring functions.

Deprecation notices only deliver their value when the old versions of
the functions are removed, and before then are a cost.

I think I don't understand your concern.

If a problem is discovered with a planned removal of something, people
on this project are mostly reasonable*, and a small RFC to adjust to
the new circumstances would be very likely to pass.

different from my own, which makes it not feel like that.
