Ah, well, then we have two overlapping issues that causes this problemo:

1. We did not use deprecation warnings years ago.
2. "methods" issue deprecation warnings by mistake.

(In fact, 2 is an effect of 1, as the warning comes because it was
unclear what was deprecated.)

This means that we in any case definitely should NOT remove "methods"
until 2.11, if at all. :)

So this is not a problem with deprecation period, time based releases
or anything else, then.
