     Type:  enhancement  |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  minor        |   Milestone:  sage-4.0
Component:  algebra      |    Keywords:          
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 There was a vote in sage-devel in the thread entitled "order of elements
 in the field" to deprecate the order method on ring elements, and keep
 just the additive_order and multiplicative_order methods.  The order
 method is too ambiguous in the context of rings, and does cause regular
 confusion.

 This should be officially deprecated, and only removed after >= 6 months.
