Sessions being deprecated?

[Burdette Lamar]

In show_cmds, we have this:

Multi-irb (DEPRECATED)
  irb            Start a child IRB.
  jobs           List of current sessions.
  fg             Switches to the session of the given number.
  kill           Kills the session with the given number.

These were deprecated about six months ago. After the impending release, can they be removed?

Also, does their being deprecated also mean that the sessions mentioned in section "IRB Sessions" and throughout the doc are moribund? If so, when to remove?

can they be removed?

They will be removed in the v2.0 release. But we haven't decided the date for it yet (unlikely in the 1st quarter)

If so, when to remove?

We can either remove them now to hide them from users, or drop it when we remove the feature.

Thanks!
