My initial 2c is that we should allow this, and add the required
deprecation notice to the online docs immediately. I would assume most
people use the online docs rather than building their own from the package,
therefore adding in a deprecation notice to the online versions a few days
after a release should not be a major problem IMHO.

Also, given the fact that we have once-a-year at most to apply ABI
changes, and this is the first time we are going this, so I think a little
latitude should be given! :-)
