At this point I want to remind us about Charles Harris' very workable proposal: Raise a warning. That should both keep backward compatability and prevent people from wasting days. (Hopefully, we can avoid wasting days discussing this issue too :-) ).

PendingDeprecationWarnings are off by default, I think. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
