Well, if you're going to passive-agressively shittalk anyone who tries to do so in a way you disagree with (as you do above), I'm not sure why anyone would willingly take you up on that offer. In any case, yes, concentrating on how to deprecate, providing smooth transitions, release notes, etc. are all important things to think about when discussing removing a feature, and framing the discussions in terms of "it's crap code, it doesn't really do what people are trying to use it for, no one should use it" accomplishes none of those items.
