We have no stdlib API guarantees until we reach 1.0.0 but it would still be nice to leave users the opportunity to fix their code for a whole cycle before removing the API entry point. Even better, we could tell them how to fix things.
Proposal:
Print a warning on stderr for a whole 0.x.0 cycle (or two) with:
a way to fix it
a link the wiki explaining the rationale
the release that is going to remove the API entry point.
It may not always be technically possible to do the above, but we can try.
