Yes, this is why we tagged/branched kdelibs, so that kdelibs-trunk can be improved
and cleaned up.

But I wouldn't recommend systematically removing / moving to kde3support
currently-marked-as-deprecated methods. Sometimes the whole class must
be redesigned/rewritten (for instance I will soon commit two KURL methods
which make KURLDrag obsolete, so there's no point in removing some
deprecated kurldrag methods, the whole of kurldrag will go into kde3support).

Also don't forget to add entries to the porting guide.
