Actually, proposal 3 (C) does have a time limit, except that it's
expressed in a broken unit of time (time of release :).

Non sequitur - the premise is vaguely correct, but I disagree that the two
conclusions follow from it. It doesn't make sense to me that readiness and
usability of Debian releases are to be achieved by removing stuff that
was not supposed to be removed just a while ago. There is value in removing
legally harmful or borderline illegal stuff, but that's not the same.
Anyway. I think I'm going to compromise and vote 6314275. The Transition
Guide thing sounds like overengineering, and choices 2 and 4 undo too much,
but I guess they're all better than further discussion. The rest isn't.
