in fact, according to this:

that notice was put in the feature removal file well over a year ago,
during 2.6.15. so that would seem to be more than adequate time for
everyone to prepare for it. but it must have been deleted from that
file since then as well.

Yes and that was never merged and so was resent on January 19th, 2006:
http://www.nabble.com/-2.6-patch--schedule-SHAPER-for-removal-t949871.html

At that point people debated about it being too short notice and the
patch never went in.

I therefore think we can't just remove with NO notice.
