# Deprecated APIs
resp.getheader("Content-Length")
# Recommended APIs resp.headers.get("Content-Length")
Why inflict this change on tens of millions of users? It's such a nonsense tiny busywork change. Let sleeping dogs lie.

(I also don't hate the thought of having a `DeprecationWarning` subclass like `IndefiniteDeprecationWarning` to make it clear that there's no plan to remove the deprecated function, which can thus be ignored/be non-fatal in CI etc.)
But if you're trying to help your users and grow your project, I think GP's advice is sound.
But the fact that they made a new release with it undeprecated shows they _do_ care about their users (direct and indirect), and at least from my point of view (both from the Python ecosystem and the browser ecosystem) this was a pretty foreseeable outcome.
That would make it no longer a useful library
