The usual next step after a method being deprecated is for it to be
removed. Can we remove it now? Or do we have to wait another cycle?

The bitSize typeclass method has been deprecated since 4.7. However, library author still have to implement it to avoid a warning. I propose that a default implementation using bitSizeMaybe be added. It would look like this:
bitSize x = case bitSizeMaybe x of Nothing -> error "bitSize is deprecated and the type in question does not have a finite bit size" Just a -> a
