	I can do that, no problem.  The only thing I'm afraid of, is that by 
not giving a specific timeframe, human psychology will do what human 
psychology does and people will tend to disregard the deprecation 
notice. :-)

	But you are right, there is no rush to actually remove the module 
itself, and perhaps the warning alone will do its job of nudging most of 
the last stragglers toward DBI.
