filter/withFilter deprecation

As a user, I'd say delay, based simply on the amount of material -- including books -- that mention only filter. Better the user get a warning with an indication of where to go, than see it simply not work at all.

The for-comprehension rewriting falls back to filter if withFilter

Is this a candidate for removal for 2.9? Or does it fall in the same
category as case-class inheritance, delaying it for one more major
revision?

I agree. We intend to keep it deprecated until the next major release after 2.9.
