Sounds good. I'm not quite sure what you mean by safe though, it's
definitely likely that things will behave the same, but it's not
certain. Additionally, I guess there will be cases were things fail to
build when the replacement is used in the build process.
I thought the process used to be to push the update to
staging/core-updates when the replacement was introduced to master?
