Since we can deprecate it in 3.3.3, I feel that zapping this feature
in 3.4.0 is fine. That gives us the one version breathing room most
people want.
IIRC, we've killed features this way before. I.e. deprecating it in
3.x.y, where y > 0. Then deleting the feature in 3.x+1. I forget
which feature(s) it was though.
