With regard to deprecated procs, we need to announce to people when they'll start disappearing well in advance, otherwise their code will break. In particular we have folks who moved their old 4.2 sites over to the OpenACS 4 core under Oracle, removing deprecated procs will break this legacy code.
We need to do it ... the questions are "when" and "with how much advance notification".
I don't mind removing the old ticket tracker apps once we have an "obsolete package" repository available.
