I don't know. They only represent specific pathways the same as any transcription factor transcribing a collection of genes.
For most cell cycle processes the regulation is not at the level of transcription. Obviously, the proteins need to be expressed, but cell cycle regulation between phases is largely post-transcriptional. The only exception I know is that for S. cerevisiae there is a positive feedback loop for the expression of cyclin in G1/S (In pombe this is different). Another exception might be the switches between somatic cell growth and meiosis which is regulated partly by transcription (but this regulatory network is so complicated I have barely thought about it). But I thought we planned to post-compose when transcription directly regulates a process, so personally, I don't see a huge need for these particular precomposed terms (as in most cases it is causally upstream, rather than regulatory).
Who uses them (I could not find the annotation spreadsheet via the link)?
You can see annotations here https://github.com/geneontology/go-annotation/blob/master/reports/4720/GO_0000083-GO_0000117-GO_0007072-GO_0007073-GO_0007074-GO_0007075-GO_0010672-GO_0010673-GO_0010674_etc.tsv
but I haven't made the spreadsheet
Maybe ask SGD about this, since they have a lot of annotation. I think it could be captured better with GO -CAM though
Looking at the annotations, it looks like we can go ahead and obsolete this. SGD and UniProt annotations have already been moved.

There are some terms related to the cell cycle:

@ValWood any suggestions about these? They may represent specific pathways, but perhaps they should be reformulated?
