Agreed: a simple Deprecation page on the wiki linking to changes.rst The wiki page *could* also be updated from time to time to provide specific warnings of important changes like deprecating --ns-cert-type as it has been identified that it will likely effect many people. I would be happy to help maintain such warnings as they are mentioned the devel mailing list.
