the method is indeed evil,
not sure about breaking the released api tough

i think it should stay just a deprecated, or at most be a noop (modulo some 
kWarning)

now a thing i wonder, how to proceed for slc, since i wanted to keep it 
working on 4.10 for a while, also because active 4 is based upon 4.10

could be isResourceLinked() factored in a change so small that can be 
backported?
