Until we start seeing some *visible* deprecation warnings in code I will
keep objecting. As I said before I have managed to work with Zope for a
few years now without ever having seen a single deprecation statement
for Z2 interfaces. Right now I have a feeling that the strategy is 'oh,
this has been deprecated for years but we forgot to put the mesasge out,
but we'll remove it anyway'. That can't be right.

Add some zope.deprecate calls around Z2 interfaces in the 2.9-2.11
trees. Really.
