I wasn't aware that we need to remove stuff from deprecated.rst after
awhile.  Thanks for taking care of it!

We are supposed to move the section from deprecated.rst to
removed.rst (adjusting it as necessary) when the feature moves
from "deprecated" to "actually removed". We didn't do that in
455c0fa9eef, so we should do that here, rather than just deleting
the section.

Alistair, could you unqueue this, please, as it doesn't update
removed.rst ?

thanks

Got it.  Thanks for clarifying!

Phil, can you please re-send the patch moving the text to remove.rst?


Thanks,
