If that is your main concern then let me put it to rest right now.  
getToolByName is very central, we all know that. It won't just be  
ripped out without some kind of consultation. I just want to scare  
people enough so they switch their code sooner rather than later.

Let's talk about something fun instead, like that wrapping issue. I  
personally can't see any problem with Hanno's suggestion for a  
"special" component registry and automatically wrapping those tools  
that are in the little registry. I'm just concerned that this  
registry is being abused a little - it really was only meant for  
getToolByName to construct a more meaningful deprecation message  
where the interface name is displayed, looked up from the tool ID. It  
seems Hanno's suggestion forces it to be kept around even after  
getToolByName has gone away in the distant future.
