There are problems with the deprecation period, but only for __ac_permissions__ and meta_types assuming we choose not to deprecate 'methods'.
The problem in this case being that we didn't use to issue deprecation warnings. ;)
Yup, can't change history.
In any case, I personally don't care if it's removed in 2.10 or 2.11.
But since we decided (in another offshoot of this thread) that it only makes sense to deprecate things in .0 releases, what *should* happen is that we should forget about all of this and add "will disappear in 2.12" to what will become 2.10.0.
I don't understand that logic. Zope 2.9.0 issued deprecation warnings for these. Why should we not remove it in 2.11.0? That is two major versions later.
You're right, sorry. I didn't realize the deprecations made it into 2.9.0; I thought they went in to 2.8.5+ and 2.9.1+ . Removing these in 2.11.0 is fine then. The 2.9 branch's deprecation warnings will continue to will say that all of these things will be removed in 2.10, which will be a lie. But that's OK, people will tolerate misleading deprecation warnings as long as what we do is actually more conservative than what it says we're going to do. - C
