The import doesn't, but the use of each method did because they looked
like this:

def getView(object, name, request, providing=Interface, context=None):
    if __warn__:
        warnings.warn(
            "The concrete concept of a view has been deprecated. You "
            "want to "
            "use `getMultiAdapter((object, request), providing, name, "
            "context)`.",
            DeprecationWarning, warningLevel())
    ...

I know for a fact that each call to getView, getResource, etc. (in
short, every function that's now in back35.py) generated warnings upon
being called, and it's the message shown above in the code snippet.

I don't think any code relies on the stuff in back35.py, except for
perhaps the get[Global]Service[s] stuff.
