I'm taking this, but have a few questions:

These two are obviously deprecated

• lib.sqlalchemy.engine.create.create_engine
• lib.sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultDialect.init

However there is a docstring in this; should it be deprecated too? I believe so.

• lib.sqlalchemy.engine.interfaces.Dialect.doc

This accepts the kwarg too, and I have no idea if it should be deprecated or left intact:

• lib.sqlalchemy.sql.schema.Table._init

id like to remove "implicit_returning" from Table also but there might be some weird compat issues for like SQL Server or Oracle, so maybe we'd need to check on that separately

jonathan vanasco has proposed a fix for this issue in the master branch:

Fixes: #6962 https://gerrit.sqlalchemy.org/c/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/+/3106

Ok. I'm leaving it on Table for now, but generated a PR to deprecate it elsewhere.

Update:

Deprecating:

• lib.sqlalchemy.engine.create.create_engine

Keeping:

• lib.sqlalchemy.engine.default.DefaultDialect.init
• lib.sqlalchemy.engine.interfaces.Dialect.doc
• lib.sqlalchemy.sql.schema.Table._init
