Comment (by chrisbliss18):

 I second the idea of delaying the deprecation until the next release
 cycle. While simply ripping out the function calls is easy enough, we'll
 likely have to add a version check to call the function for pre-3.8
 versions so that people updating our plugins/themes before 3.8 launches
 (and for those that will wait a few weeks before updating, because many
 do) have admin pages that are consistent with the rest of the UI.

 I believe that we can update all of our code in time for the 3.8 launch,
 but what about smaller teams, developers that maintain their code on their
 off time, and people that won't know about this deprecation until it is
 possibly too late to be able to update everything?

 It's easy to dismiss the concern as trivial as WP_DEBUG has to be enabled,
 but from experience, many non-developers have this turned on and see any
 messages that come up as a big concern that needs to be fixed immediately.
 I can't simply tell paying customers that their concern is of no concern
 to us.
