As far as I got it, it needs to follow the regular deprecation process. Which is
deprecation notice should be sent and merged (with 3 acks) in 20.08, so that it
can be changed in 20.11.

It can be good to highlight this, perhaps in next release status meeting, since
there may be some ABI changes waiting for 20.11, this release is last change for
them to send a deprecation notice.
