Along with the deprecation points to be made. Therefore you remove the functionality in 6.0 and onward [next major release]. You do not touch 4.x, since that would mean a backport. Normally, in commercial environments (just for the sake of the discussion/through), you only backport fixes and not radical changes like this.
