Description
As discussed on Slack, this issue is to track the removal of deprecated stuff for astropy 4.0 LTS release. Update this as needed. I added cc for people who brought it up or implemented the deprecation or would be the most interested in its future, but all are welcome to have a look.
Disclaimer: I found the following using a simple grep for "deprecate". If I missed something, feel free to add to the list.
