Yes, we do.  We take it out and wait for a user to complain, treat it as
a bug at that point, and fix it.  I don't want to get into yet another
compatibility discussion, but if we support every single possible way a
user could have been using our (undocumented) code forever then ITK will
bloat even more.  We should at least use the legacy/deprecation scheme.
