About the deprecated libraries, is there an expiration time in the code?

Like %GlobalCharacterStream, %GlobalBinaryStream, and others, as been deprecated in favor of %Stream.GlobalCharacter, %Stream.GlobalBinary, will this deprecated libraries one day no longer work?

Thanks for the question, @André Dienes Friedrich. The simple answer is no, there is no set expiration time. We like to keep deprecated features around as long as a good number of users are depending upon them in production. Some reasons why a feature would be removed are: keeping the deprecated library conflicts with important features of the replacement; it becomes too burdensome to support the deprecated one; or the deprecated one becomes a risk in terms of security or data integrity. That hasn't happened yet with the libraries you mention.
