I think this timeline is missing a few items:
File bugs/patches on dak, launchpad, reprepro and other repository
creation tools to drop producing Release{,.gpg} (including all the
ones used by derivatives and by prominent external apt repositories
and apt repository services).
Wait for all of those to be fixed.
Add the warnings.
Wait one Debian release cycle.
Change the warnings to errors.
Wait a bit more.
Remove the code.
