I didn't see evidence of deprecation warnings.  These methods didn't
generate warnings.  The code:

   from bbb import *

or

   from bbb import x, y, ...,

is, sadly, quite common and generates no warnings.  The fact that
deprecating these now with warnings generates tens or hundreds of
new deprecation warnings supports my case.

It's actually even worse though.  Many things that are deprecated also
provide implementation that non-deprecated code relies on. :(
I have some pending work now in which I have to sort this sort of thing
out.

This is going to take quite a bit of work to sort out.

If someone else wants to try and sort this out, I'm willing to
suspend work on my adapter branch until it's done.

I'll note that have have only about a month and a half until
the May 1 feature freeze.
