While there has certainly been enough versions, have we had enough time
for deprecation? My understanding was it was something like 6-months
from introduction, and X months (or 1 version) from deprecation. I don't
remember our explicit support declaration.

bzr-0.7 was released in Jan 2006, and 0.8 in May. So it seems like we
could remove 0.7 deprecated stuff, but not 0.8 deprecated stuff.

By the way, this wiki page really needs to be updated:
http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrHistory

It looks like it is mostly just a wikified version of NEWS, is that true?
