Deprecation of GIMME long promised but not yet scheduled

[jkeenan]

(Moved from #22527 (comment).)

I read the following in the documentation (5.40.0):

perldoc perl5380delta

    *   The underlying "Perl_dowantarray" function implementing the
        long-deprecated "GIMME" macro has been marked as deprecated, so that
        use of the macro emits a compile-time warning. "GIMME" has been
        documented as deprecated in favour of "GIMME_V" since Perl v5.6.0,
        but had not previously issued a warning.

perldoc perlapi

    "GIMME"
        "DEPRECATED!" It is planned to remove "GIMME" from a future release
        of Perl. Do not use it for new code; remove it from existing code.

        A backward-compatible version of "GIMME_V" which can only return
        "G_SCALAR" or "G_LIST"; in a void context, it returns "G_SCALAR".
        Deprecated. Use "GIMME_V" instead.

            U32  GIMME

But I see no mention of GIMME in pod/perldeprecation.pod. So shouldn't we be developing a plan and a timetable for its removal? Can anyone explain why we haven't done so already (e.g., it may be in use in darkpan code)?

If anyone knows anything about GIMME, can you review the above so that we can see about scheduling this deprecation work during the 5.43 development cycle? Thanks.
