Yes. It is in VTK/Utilities/Upgrading/TheNewVTKPipeline.pdf, first
Kitware Newsletter (http://www.kitware.com/products/newsletter.html)
and the User's Guide. It is also mentioned here:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK_FAQ#Roadmap:_What_changes_are_being_considered_for_VTK
(new pipeline mechanism). It sounds like it should have been
announcement more clearly. It looks like we are missing a Changes
between 4.4 and 5.0 section on the vtk wiki. Also, I don't know if
someone is maintaining release note for VTK. Those classes were not
marked deprecated for backwards compatibility reasons. I believe there
is a flag somewhere that removes deprecated code. It should probably
warn about subclassing from vtkSource.
