I like this. A goto-reference as of how and when to deprectate 
and remove.

About the concerns that depractation period being measured by 
releases could fluctate the interval, I definitely would have 
agreed in autumn 2016. But now we have the release progress in 
place so I think it will go predictably enough.

Nonetheless, I think that maintainers must always retain the 
liberty to disregard these rules when there's a very good reason. 
If there, for example, starts to be much larger slips in release 
schelude again they should be able to go ahead and remove stuff 
early.
