Which was my point.  If you're going to deprecate Strings, do so across the
board in an organized manner --- not via ad hoc deprecations to individual
libraries.

The only problem with that is that ad hoc deprecations are achievable by individual library maintainers, while a "stop-the-world" approach won't, I think, work.
