When we've deprecated/removed other features, how did we handle that
that in the Release Notes? Did we just make a note about the removal
and provide an alternate workflow?

Aside from clearly flagging this option as DEPRECATED in the UI and
then waiting a couple of versions before completely removing it, I'm
not sure of a great way for us to query our userbase. The enterprise
users might be even harder to query, as they might not see any changes
we make in 4.3 for quite some time.
