Thanks for testing.

But we have no reason to push people away from the old headers. Those
who need the new headers know already that the old ones are awkward.
Those who don't need the new headers are welcome to keep using the old
ones. That's why we're not adding a #warn in the old headers either, at
least not until we want to push people away from them.

IOW, you're actually proposing to remove the comment from the headers.
I'm fine either way.


Thanks,
