+1 For Nicolas's opinion here. I think it's fair in an open source project to at least give the community / partner one version to convert their work by deprecating something. Please, do not just remove that module for v8.0. You already dropped audittrail, project long term and some others.
If I perfectly understand all the reasons that motivate you to drop them (trust me;), it's the editor's duty to announce, deprecate and then only drop something. If you're not doing so, how can we as partners / community rely on you ? Thanks for your understanding. See you in june !
