Hi Bernhard,

Thank you for comment. Now when I think about deprecation it does
happen immediately, while removal follows later. Both the time change,
and FIXME are available in github, with corrections to two later
commits are available in the git repository at:

  git://github.com/kerolasa/lelux-utiliteetit.git 2014wk09

for you to fetch changes up to 2b0dda54bda3ecd24ca1de4cfd7eb662438204cc.
