While not technically a module deprecation this will need to be discussed on the asterisk-dev list.

This deprecates the users.conf config file, which is no longer as widely supported but still integrated with a number of different modules. Because there is no real mechanism for marking a configuration file as "deprecated", and users.conf is not just used in a single place, this now emits a warning to the user when the PBX loads to notify about the deprecation. This configuration mechanism has been widely criticized and discouraged since its inception, and is no longer relevant to the configuration that most users are doing today. Removing it will allow for some simplification and cleanup in the codebase. Resolves: asterisk#183 UpgradeNote: The users.conf config is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Asterisk.
