What is the operational translation of 'deprecating support of foo' ?
automatic answer "no support" to any user reporting issue with it ?
removing it from the distribution ?
While I don't care about the first one, I do care about the second
interpretation. Given the very high fragility of the gnome environment
nowadays, using old-days tools to workaround those various issues is
frequently useful.
