--- Comment #3 from Krinkle <[email protected]> ---
Cherry picking only a few of them is not an option imho.

They were intended for removal in 1.23 following a more public-engaging
deprecation process.

However, both the tracking of usage and the announcing of how to use
mw.log.deprecate were delayed.

I announced a bit about mw.log.deprecate in last October:

And only last week did Ori and I start putting the bits in place for tracking
mw.track('deprecate') usage on Wikimedia wikis. We're still working on that.

I think once that is in place and we've sent a second reminder to wikimedia and
mediawiki mailing lists about them going away soon, we can safely remove them
in the next release. It is developer's responsibility to keep scripts up to
date.

Wikimedia can do a best effort to keep popular gadgets that are abandoned up to
date, but overall we should not cherry-pick speed up or delay removal of
features just because of how well or how much they seem to be used.
