Let's not mix up the discussions/issues here. :-) This one here should be a deprecation. Then we should start unloading older depracation packages from the Trunk.

I vote for keeping only 50Deprecated, 51Deprecated, and (obvioulsy) 60Depcrecated in the next release. So, let's start removing those other *Deprecated packages right now. :-)

Best,
Marcel

We could deprecate it, but then how would we know when it was safe to remove
it? After all, it hangs the image so it is unlikely that there have been any
senders for a very long time.

Granted, it might have some use for debugging something in MVC, so I guess that
we could reactivate the "Display reverse; reverse" line and then move the
method to 60Deprecated on the theory that this would do something noticeable
in MVC. But I suspect that just dropping into an emergency evaluator might be
better at that point.
