[TYPO3-dev] [TYPO3-core] RFC: #11249: Clean up: Deprecation clean-up in tslib_content::getData()

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi,

i'm for leaving GPvar in TS without deprecating, but having GP as well.
TS is different from php, and as extension devs are able to understand 
deprecate message / log, TS-writers may not.

So from TS writer's view it is a fully legal functionality and if it suddenly starts giving warnings, it only means one thing: someone broke this functionality. So I am -1 to this change.

"gpvar" does have to correspond to t3lib_div::GPvar. Keep TS stable and change the underlying implementation to use better functions. Save people from unnecessary troubles.
