I don't know when we can/should remove them, but this at least gets people to stop using them. The preferred alternatives also date back to 17.09 so writing forward-compatable code without extra conditions is easy. Beginning with these as they are the least controversial.

Crickets. I'll presume @dezgeg agrees with the spirit of these deprecations (i.e. Unlike the other ones, I created this interface, so I feel comfortable deprecating this myself. @edolstra mentioned cross compilation still being experimental in #45717 (comment). Well, I no longer wish for these top-level to be a "condoned" part of the experiment. (I will not remove them for 18.09, however.) |

Yeah see #46146 (comment) and following. I'm trying to think of what to do. I recall you once tried to the tarball job turn off alises? Maybe I should use that for this instead? |

OK @dezgeg, I'm starting with these since these are the ones we agree on. I'll backport to 18.09 too, if you approve of this.
