Yeah, but those are always done through a deprecation path, so there's no 
immediate breakage. And we've done most of that already, so that should be 
happening less and less.

However, if we did move to a model where we had major and minor releases, then 
deprecating and removing functions would presumably be restricted to major 
releases.
