FWIW, I think that deprecation+eventual removal is the way to go in this case. If the macro was exposed, but not *actually used*, it'd be OK to quickly yank it out. But clearly it is in use, and we know that the removal breaks packages that are out there. I appreciate the desire to make a clean break, but rpm is a foundational package that needs to preserve backwards compatibility.
