Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 The approach from comment:85 sounds good 👍

 Replying to [comment:85 hellofromTonya]:
 > Retaining the original files with redirect code (i.e. the strategy
 @SergeyBiryukov did with other files, such as renaming `wp-db.php` to
 `class-wpdb.php` #56268 / [53749], [53750], [53755], [53756]).

 See comment:33:ticket:47632 for a general procedure with these renamings.

 I think the last two commits are specific to the `wpdb` class, as it can
 be loaded outside of WordPress core, where `ABSPATH`, `INC`, and
 `deprecated_file()` may not be defined, so those commits addressed that.

 Generally, these are all safe to use, see [45678] for example.
