I assume "remove" here means "render invalid". For how long should
something be deprecated before being removed?

My contention is that this just moves back the date when something is
rendered invalid, once again forcing operator attention. The same
"surprise" happens, but only after it's possible some undesirable thing
has been taking place for a while.
