Yes, totally. And it is simple, now.

The trouble is coming from the wholesale deprecation of large swaths of Phobos 
with every recent release. I don't think the solution is to make deprecation 
more complex (because no matter what you do, the user will still have to re-edit 
his code, and that's the real problem), but to make deprecation and code 
breakage a rare event.
