Is there a reason we can’t have a 9.14.2 release with just the deprecation warning?

Rodrigo can you ask Zubin about this?  There are non-trivial overheads associated with a release.  But a very minor release like this might have much smaller overheads?

I suppose the goal would be that the deprecation is embodied in a released GHC, much sooner than awaiting for a critical mass of bug-fixes to accumulate.

Sounds like we're converging on that compromise. Any objections to accepting the proposal with these provisions?
-  Deprecation would start whenever 9.14.2 comes out (probably not for some months)
-  the change would take effect with 9.16 in about six month

If not, I'll take this as consensus by December 16.
