I would say the exact opposite, deprecate methods as early as possible
If I deprecate a method now,
- it is deprecated in the current dev version 3.0 dev
- it is deprecated in the next release  3.0 stable
- it is removed in the next dev version 4.0 dev

so the current behavior is correct. For these issues apply the following 
strategy:

- the latest stable version should load in 2.0 (1.4 is dead)
- the latest dev version should most probably work in 3.0

So in this case, OSProcess could be easily updated to use 'Smalltalk os' since 
that exists already in 2.0, and nobody should even care developing or 
backporting software for 2.0.
