I just noticed that ContentHandler has understandably deprecated several
hooks.
However, not all the hooks have been updated as deprecated on the mw.o.
Some of their replacements aren't even documented on mw.o.
Worse, there isn't any schedule for how long the legacy hooks are going
to be supported or any HOWTOs for developers interested in making their
extensions work in MW 1.21+..
This is especially frustrating for developers who may have used
ArticleViewCustom (new in 1.19) only to have it be deprecated a year
later in 1.21 for ArticleContentViewCustom.
(If anyone did use this hook in 1.19, they didn't document that use on
mw.o, so we don't know about it and can't warn them about the issues
that may come from this.)
