zLOG got deprecated for the use of logging in 2.7 if I remember
correctly. In 2.8 zLOG became just a wrapper around the logging
module. The warnings were not added until 2.9.1, which was released in
February. It will be removed in 2.11.0, scheduled for January I think?
It's a shame warnings weren't added before, but before we started with
the time based releases, deprecations were done via the CHANGE log.
:-)

The OFS.Application thingies have been deprecated for ages. This is
just like with zLOG, but worse, it has been deprecated but we didn't
add any kind of deprecation warnings AT ALL back in the stone age. :)
The warnings has been there since 2.8.5, which indeed is only half a
year. So maybe that should not be removed until 2.11.0, then?
