Given that 0.18 was a very slow release, and the work for removing
deprecated material from 0.19 has already been done, I don't think we
should revert that. I agree that we can delay the deprecation deadline for
0.20 and 0.21.

In terms of release schedule, are we aiming for RC in early-mid March,
assuming Andy's above prognostications are correct and he is able to review
in a bigger way in a week or so?
