Comment (by jdemeyer):

 1. There has been no deprecation at all for this, which really goes
 against Sage's 1-year deprecation policy. You cannot just break user's
 work flows like this.

 2. Old-style packages still appear in various places in the documentation:

 - Various places document `sage -i chomp` (or other old-style packages)
 - `sage --optional` shows both new-style and old-style packages
 - We even have a page in the developer documentation about creating old-
 style packages.
