Yes but the deprecation has been there for a while, and the third party product developers have been ignoring the warning. Their loss.
You're right. This only because I haven't managed to get off 2.8 on any of my projects, so I just never see these warnings. The reason I haven't been able to make it off 2.8 is due mostly to other deprecation/feature addition aggressiveness that has taken place in 2.9 and on the HEAD. Us plain old folks just can't keep up. I really wouldn't at all mind releasing a patched EE if the thing being deprecated was worth deprecating. But IMO this was a bad deprecation, and we should just un-deprecate it.
If we don't remove things at some point, there's no point in doing deprecation warnings.
I think the deprecation shouldn't have been done in the first place. This is only about "methods" not about __ac_permissions__ and so on that have warnings in the file.
We can push it back to Zope 2.11... Actually I really don't care, I've patched EE.
Or we can just pretend we never deprecated 'methods', remove the warning, and get on with it; no harm, no foul. - C
