If we deprecated them now, they would be gone in 2.10 (not to be
confused with 3.0) too.

A decision hasn't been made.  People who don't use them feel strongly
that they should go.  I'm trying to get a sense of how widely they are
used.  I'm trying to understand if people who use ZClasses are a silent
majority, minority, or small minority.
