What do you think about wesm/pandas2#26?

@wesm @jreback All deprecated things are listed at #6581 (at least if we don't forget to add them). So normally, in a possible 0.20, we would remove all the things deprecated in 0.17, so that includes pandas.ga, TimeSeries, LongPanel, pandas.rpy etc. I think those are rather clear that they can be removed. I would keep this issue to discuss new, possible controversial deprecations/tentative removals.

let's thing again about: #10734 (.combine) as may want to use that more generally.

[jorisvandenbossche]

Something we should discuss is whether we would like to remove things more aggressively (eg that were only deprecated in 0.18/0.19) for 1.0

yes, I wanted to pick up that one for some time. I still think it can be done in a backwards compatible way, should look again at it.
