I think that can be safely left up to the individual programmer, who has a better idea (hopefully) on the life expectancy of his code. We try to give guidance about the urgency of the deprecation e.g. in PEPs or by using the normally-silent PendingDeprecation (which suggests it's not urgent :-). --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
