What problem does this solve or what need does it fill?

RemovedComponents isn't a particularly nice tool: it doesn't fit into our existing tools for responding to changes well, doesn't allow users to read the data as it's being removed, must be continually monitored to avoid missing events, and risks desynchronization because of the polling-based mechanism.

What solution would you like?

Observers (merged in #10839) offer an alternative solution to this problem space without the caveats.

We should deprecate and then remove [RemovedComponents], being careful to update and improve documentation and write a clear migration guide.

In particular, users can emit events, triggered by an observer, to recreate the previous polling-style behavior when it is preferred.

What alternative(s) have you considered?

Other solutions to solve and/or work around the problem presented.

Additional context

#2148 proposes a Removed query filter, which might still be a valuable (if complex) complement even with this PR implemented.
