Our plan for Param 2.0 was to improve its API by renaming and removing some methods/functions. This has already been partially achieved, however some API we deprecated was just deprecated by adding a comment in the release notes (of Param 1.12.0 mostly) and in the code, sometimes in docstrings.
We deem that this was not enough to completely remove that API in Param 2.0, as users tend to rely on programmatic warnings. For instance, in some of the HoloViz libraries there were still usages of the deprecated
.param.params()
