That's why I want to deprecate them first and give users one release cycle to switch to new
functions. I assumed that's enough but we could make this two or three release cycles. The reall
question is how to remember that we should remove this at some point?

If we want to avoid the CPP we need warning to be in major version X if that's when the old function is deprecated and the new one is added and the actual removal in X+2. At that point I'd just consider keeping the function and avoid the hassle. :)
