What about adding a deprecation notice and see who comes screaming.

  Depends. You want only the contents of a directory when you ls it. Many scripts and programs depend on determinable output from utilities like ls, find, ps, etc.

    Very true. You could also add a suppression flag to keep scripts running. I think I'd rather have a script die from a deprecation notice than the feature being removed.

      The thing is that it may not die, but instead use the warning as input.
