As discussed in #5175 the rotateCD method is confusing and there's a consensus to deprecate it.
There's no evidence that this method is used by anyone. Is 1.3 a good time to remove it?
Are the changes here sufficient for the deprecation?
#5189 will be closed without merging.

@gbrammer? @mcara?

@nden -- Perhaps also add a change log under "API changes" to indicate the deprecation? How about adding a message to go with the deprecation warning; i.e., tell users what is their new alternative to this deprecated method?

I plan to merge this tomorrow if there are no other comments.
@pllim There's no alternative.

I am all for it. I think the message is fine as it is. The alternative is to use math to derive the correct formula for a given problem.
