So effectively, application developers need to support multiple versions

without offering a reasonably usable alternative.

Isn't it pretty much mandatory, when deprecating something, to also state the alternative (in the docs, in the deprecation warnings, etc.)?

How do deprecations change anything here? Isn't enough to state that your software requires a given minimum version, and that's it?

(If the deprecation macros are the problem, that's an implementation detail of those macros, hopefully fixed now.)
