We don't mean, that, though: we mean that it might go away in a
particular upcoming release. And we may not have a chance to, or we
might change our minds.

I just updated DEPRECATED.pod to tag  the ones eligible for removal
before 1.0 as [BEFORE 1.0]; the few that were added already as [post
1.3] I updated to be: [eligible in 1.4]

That, is, those items are eligible for removal in that release; If we
don't remove them in that release, then we'll update the file just
before the 1.4 release to say [eligible in 2.0]. When we're about to
cut 1.0, we can change the remaining [BEFORE 1.0] items to be
[eligible in 1.4].

Hope that works for folks.

Regards.
