No, absolutely not. Do not remove something just because it has been deprecated for two major versions.
Do you have any recommendations for how we should handle deprecations? Is this done on a case-by-case basis?
I would say so, yes. While the 2-version-to-deprecate is a nice rule of thumb to follow, each thing needs to be handled on its own. You should weigh the cost of keeping something around vs. the cost of breaking god knows what extension that someone has installed. Sure you can grep mw/extensions, but that only goes so far.
