When I see deprecation warnings in the API…

## DEPRECATION WARNING: This method will become a separate plugin

when Rails 2.0 ships. ##

… how should this affect how I use the method? Should I not use the  
method? Or does it just mean that when Rails 2.0 ships and I update  
I’ll have a lot of re-work to do?

It seems that there are a few helper methods for AJAX, JS , etc. that  
will go away.

What is the basic timeline / schedule for Rails? Is 2.0 the next  
planned major release? When (loosely) is 2.0 planned for release?

Thanks,

Blaine
