Oh come on, it's somewhat ironic to hear that from you Warner who
apparently loves to deprecated things. :-)

Seriously though, [ef]grep should go.  Installing what should be one's
shell aliases as first-class programs always seemed dubious to me.
Admittedly, I welcome GNU grep guys' rather unpopular* decision to help
the world clean up those scripts.

As any deprecation warning, it can be annoying, but how else would you
nudge people to fix their scripts?
