Nice. I left a couple of comments and additions. Do you plan to take care of the other forgotten deprecations, or leave that for another PR?

[AnesBenmerzoug]

I took care of the simple ones only in order to be able to finish this PR for the next release.

[mdbenito]

One small fix and also we should probably delete the subsection on applications within the introduction, or merge it with applications.md in case it adds something.

[AnesBenmerzoug]

I merged the two sections into one and then decided to remove more deprecated code and updated the tests accordingly.

[mdbenito]

Nice.
