Description
Is there a reason that deprecated methods, such as groups_createChild, are allowed to be called? As the deprecation happened 3.5 years ago, it feels like it's a good time to comment them out or remove it. An old issue had a similar question, but it's not quite the same question.

Done means a maintainer-approved decision with the affected methods and compatibility impact documented.
