The problem of adding a new function and deprecating an old one in the same release is, that sources modified according to the deprecation cannot be compiled with a previous compiler release.
Yes, you'd need ifdefs to do this, but waiting another year is just too slow. It's a trade-off, to be sure.
Before using ifdefs I (and maybe others too) would revert the change and ignore the deprecation warning (for one major release), thus defeating the purpose of deprecations. Why the hurry to deprecate? Christian
