That's all I was suggesting. Just make sure anyone building it before the
final depreciation 'notices' what is about to happen. (Whether or not there
are people building this with any frequency, I have no idea. At at least
the curl project made an effort to warn them.) After depreciation, it will
simply not build. MAYBE there can be a vestigial comment here or there in
the build files for a while, but that's it.

Cheers!
