Thanks a lot: I've investigated with the other maintainers and no voices
against your request were raised, we will be happy to integrate your
patch (and thanks for the deprecation module, which will probably be
useful also for other stuff in the future).

Still, your patch at the moment is a bit messy and suboptimal to review.
Take for example the patch about the example
examples/debtags/tagsByRelevance; your patch first remove all the code
and then read it, probably using the right calls.

Can you please:
- provide 2 patches instead of 3: one for the deprecation module, the
  other (instead of 2) for all the method renamings.
- avoid stuff like the example above and keep your patches minimal.

Once that is ready, I'll be more than happy to review, apply, and
upload.

Thanks in advance!
Cheers.
