Um, how it be discussed and considered to deprecate it in the first place?

It seems a little odd to deprecate something due to load, when realistically we probably represent 95% of the load due to that feature. (Number pulled out of a hat. I have no idea what the real numbers are, but ive never heard of anyone other than mediawiki using that feature, and we use it quite a lot). Im also not a fan of telling people not to do something and then doing it ourselves.
