Ok, with 2 identified users I'm going to abandon my patch to deprecate
with no replacement. My current plan is to leave the race there with a
comment in the code and the config documentation. Perhaps we can fix
this properly at some point when we get the online schema changes, but
for the moment it seems like a lot of complication for a relatively
small problem.

Do you use the global or project scope, btw?
