A number of items on the 1.8 todo list are reminders to remove things that we deprecated in 1.7, and said we would remove in 1.8, e.g.: https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/596 https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/294
But, since 1.8 is so soon after 1.7, we probably shouldn't actually do that. I suggest we switch to a time-based deprecation schedule, where instead of saying "this will be removed in N releases" we say "this will be removed in the first release on or after (now+N months)". I also suggest that we set N=12, because it's a round number, it roughly matches numpy's historical release cycle, and because AFAICT that's the number that python itself uses for core and stdlib deprecations.
