[00:25:27] https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/49957 - https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/trunk/src/wp-includes/deprecated.php [00:25:51] WordPress is looking to for the first time remove a function that was deprecated from its codebase after 17 years of indefinite compatiblity [00:26:35] one interesting quirk of it using prefixed global functions, is that polyfilling is really easy. You can't inject a method from a class once it's gone, but you can easily conditionally define a function.
