I started to suggest the legacy issue yesterday but stopped because I  
realize that supporting legacy becomes an unending task that just  
postpones forever the upgrade to the newer API.  I agree the deadwood  
module is a great benefit.  One desire I would have with it is to  
report in foo.deadwood things of caution instead of inserting comments  
into foo.module.  Yea, yea, I know a feature request in the deadwood  
issue queue.
