I don't know.  I expect that most products would not
have to be rewritten.  I expect that *some* proucts
would.  (e.g. products that depend on key-based access
control.)

That will work, and I don't see a need to deprecate it.
Eventually, though, I expect products to migrate to
ZCML-based security declarations.

It was/is possible to control access to mapping items
based on item values (e.g. key values).
