Steve: it seems to me that the goal of normal deprecation process is, given that a functionality is available and documented, prepare to find a replacement for it by some future version.
In this case it's documented not to be available and doesn't work so this should perhaps fall under fixing a bug?
It's true that this is backwards incompatible for the reason you pointed out (and I missed), but I think breaking compatibility is ok in new versions for bug fixes? (as long as it's added to "what's new", which I haven't done yet).
If I'm wrong about this, I'll go ahead and make another PR for deprecation and close this one..
