I don't think a deprecation cycle makes sense in this case:

* Only a handful of packages use these modules/functions
  (according to my very out-of-date copy of hackage, anyway).
* The code is buggy (http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3160)
  so we would like people to stop using it sooner rather than later.
* It is harder for us: We don't have a good way to track tasks that need
  to be done at some point in the future.


Thanks
