I personnaly do not like policy to depend to much on software behaviour.
What if gcc developer receive so many complains that they decide
to reinstate it in gcc-3.4 ?

Maybe we should wait a bit before remove it ? See how many
packages are affected, what feed back we get, etc...

Documenting it is no more supported is fine for me of course.
