Comment (by ncohen):
> Can we just delete things without first deprecating them?
I believe that the custom is to only deprecate things which are somehow
accessible in the global namespace, and that we can remove/change whatever
has to be imported manually.
> What if third party code uses some of this?
They will have to update it. Exactly as they would have to if we deprecate
them for a year before that (and assuming that they update and run sage
using those files during the next year).
Do you think that adding deprecation warnings, which contain a message
indicating how the code should be rewritten, would help in this case?
I believe that the feature implemented by `file_to_worksheet` is already
more easily available through the notebook interface (or the cloud) and
less likely to be broken. For the refcount it is a bit more questionable,
but then I thought that it would not be a problem as a guy who needs this
kind of feature knows what he is doing.
Tell us what you think,
Nathann
