BTW, This is a good example for why I want to start using time-based deprecation.
In a world with time-based releases, is there a difference?
Yes, because release numbers aren't very helpful when software is used by many applications. For example, I could imagine bumping ZODB (or some other packages) release numbers more often than is needed by Zope. For example, zope.interface has separate releases. We might someday decide to make a release to meet Twisted's needs. We wouldn't want such an incedental event to cause a feature to be deprecated more quickly.
