What needs to be done?

We should clearly inform how we load deprecated code:

By default:

• Fresh installs: no deprecated code is loaded.

• Upgrade from a previous version: the 2 last versions deprecated code is loaded.

• Explain why we are using a 12.0 exception

• Explain how to disable deprecated code loading

• Explain how to force deprecated code loading
