What about leaving disabled functions deprecated in git and removing it
from distribution source tarballs? Gerald (at least used to) do this
upon release for -Werror, for example:

If I remember correctly, GTK/GLib removes deprecated functions at the
next major version. The downside of not remembering to fix them along
the way would be a lot of extra work when the next major version came
out.
