Thanks Miro, that's beautiful. Good to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't read documentation. ;-) So, how do we deal with this? We can't warn about the deprecation without annoying everyone. We can't just remove the empty module without breaking lots of code. We also can't really let the module stick around forever and let people write more code that uselessly imports it. Any ideas?
