You're right.  This only because I haven't managed to get off 2.8 on  
any of my projects, so I just never see these warnings.

The reason I haven't been able to make it off 2.8 is due mostly to  
other deprecation/feature addition aggressiveness that has taken  
place in 2.9 and on the HEAD.  Us plain old folks just can't keep up.

I really wouldn't at all mind releasing a patched EE if the thing  
being deprecated was worth deprecating.  But IMO this was a bad  
deprecation, and we should just un-deprecate it.

I think the deprecation shouldn't have been done in the first place.   
This is only about "methods" not about __ac_permissions__ and so on  
that have warnings in the file.

Or we can just pretend we never deprecated 'methods', remove the  
warning, and get on with it; no harm, no foul.
