Well, the deprecation was decided by the Engineering Steering Committee. The
fact that it isn't mentioned in the 5.3 release notes is a very unfortunate
human error. Note that the wiki pages are not "official documents of the TDF"
either as they can be edited by anyone to contain all kinds of nonsense (which
has happened before).

Due to the error of not including XP deprecation in 5.3 release notes or
official announcement blog it seems WONTFIX is indeed not an option.

Now we have to make an extra effort to include the information in every
possible announcement for 5.4.
