Doesn't matter.
We do not, as a rule, deprecate, or warn about possible deprecation of,
APIs that we do not provide replacements for in the same release. "May
be deprecated in the future" is true for *all* of our public APIs. I see
no good reason to put this in docstrings for these particular functions.
IMO, either actually deprecate the APIs, or leave out that text.

Indeed. We've tried, for 15 years, to be clear about the difference
between a "node" and a "node revision". These names are a huge step
backwards.
