Yes, I suspect I phrased thing very badly, somewhat assuming that people already knew my point. Beta is a time for stabilization only. This is why enhancements and risky fixes might not make it in. While KCP is definitely stabilizing in the long term, deprecating stuff does create the short term risk of breaking things, which is not appropriate to introduce in a beta stage, because in practice it will mean that we end up with a release that is not appropriate for demos.
Note that my intention is try to get at least part of the outstanding KCP stuff in while we're still in alpha or early enough beta. Especially since some of those things actually fix deprecation-related problems...
Regardless, KCP does and will continue to have a relatively easy way to get into the image (me), at least as long as you continue to do such great work, and I haven't started the October term. So stop worrying so much, and continue so that we get in as much stuff as possible in 3.7 :-)

Why daniel, if you want to get the image clean there is no way that we will avoid to deprecate stuff. The sooner we do it the sonner we will fix everything. So I do not understand your point.
