I personally do not have any issue with that, as long as you
would help us convert existing users that what was known as pull
is not available and new pull means fetching only.

If I recall correctly in this thread, you also advocated to
always have tracking branches.  I am a bit worried about losing
the promiscuous pull usage, which can easily become a regression
for people like Linus in the integrator role unless done with an
escape hatch.
