Re: [matplotlib-devel] Histogram normalization and overflow bins

Yes, you have almost got what I want.  I know of both line comments in 
the pull interface, and raising DeprecationWarnings.  The problem with 
the warnings that they only want to get used when you have an alternate 
in place and want to remove old code soon.  The problem here lies in not 
knowing how long the life-cycle will last for an indeterminate amount of 
time, such as numpy-1.5 here, or python-2.7.  Lots of such items can 
stack up, and easily get forgotten about, as we see here.
