The library would be marked in documentation as "deprecated" and it would go away in 2 releases, per normal process. The alternative is to have no "going away" process and break existing applications now. But not just break, potentially break badly (analyze what happens when an agent doesn't call the init_helpers routine; if nothing, great, but I haven't studied it recently).

If they don't want to provide a migration path for users, they don't have to do so.
