> But then, why not use #deprecated: instead of #isThisEverCalled ?

Good question.  In a practical sense, the way #deprecated: works would
seems to fit just right.

I think #isThisEverCalled comes up when a developer wants to actually
remove a method because they've designed it out.  But rather than
delete it outright, there is a desire to be more conservative about
its final removal, just in case.

I just added removing them to the 4.5 list.
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6189  .  Great idea to make that Frank!
Maybe it will help in building 4.5's release notes some day..
