Thank you for the details, Andrew, but you haven't answered Eli's
question. The answer to his question lies in the leap between "blindly
transform" and "Consequently" - why not just _leave_ them? DEPRECATED_STREQ is not an improvement over STREQ except for making
things uglier. We've even got the ARI to remind us; what you've
accomplished is shrinking the STREQ/STREQN column to zero at the
expense of raising the deprecated column even higher. If that was all
you wanted you could have done it in the ARI scripts.
You've been pushing very hard to renaming things to deprecated_foo for a while now. I think I'm not the only other maintainer who doesn't understand or approve. It's a lot of work for you; it generates large patches and source churn; it causes patch rejects and merge errors for other developers; and the rest of us don't see or agree on the benefit. Isn't that the sort of thing which should be discussed instead of implemented?
