Sure, but that conflict should be easy to resolve.

Anyway, I'm not really thrilled by the idea of doing the deprecation
afterwards, but if you do it soon, it shouldn't be a problem in practice.

Worst case would be that if the deprecation isn't added before the next
release, this patch would need to be reverted.

Best regards,
