IMO creating this kind of "gray areas" in support and deprecation issues is bad.

What this will create is just more sources for arguing/debates. Once deprecation or EoL schedule is set,

it is best to align to it. Discussions about the schedules should happen when setting them, not when

the deadline is coming.

Also I am not sure it is really worth it. For example, importing ABCs directly from collections was deprecated 8 years ago,

what would 1 extra year change?
