Deprecate and remove APIs

[methane]

When making Flask 1.0, could you remove some old APIs?

• deprecate flask.ext, see Deprecate flask.ext #1484 and Deprecate flask.ext and create migration tool to flask_* #1135
• remove modules, see Remove deprecated old module, and start deprecating request.json. #1204 and Disable modules by default #861
• deprecate *_session()
• Allow all objects in JSON, see Can't jsonify list object #673, Should jsonify() throw an exception when provided a list? #1177, Review JSON Security #248, jsonify doesn't accept a list #170, Can jsonify return array? #510
• deprecate request.json, see Deprecate request.json property #1206 and Remove deprecated old module, and start deprecating request.json. #1204
• remove support for name guessing from send_file Bug in send_file with temp files #1427

I updated the OP as a meta issue tracking all API changes for 1.0.

#1291 just got merged, and after doing most of the API breakages, I'd like to make some sort of alpha for Flask 1.0.

Would it make sense to remove the deprecated Flask.modules property, too?

[untitaker]

Thought it was already removed! PRs welcome.

Allow all objects in json

This was fixed in #1671

deprecate flask.ext

I marked this as fixed by #1484.

Working on this in the pycon sprint

In regards to the removal or deprecation of the *_session methods, can you elaborate on why those should be deprecated or removed? I searched the code base and they don't seem to be deprecated already. So It appears we need to do that first. I also looked around with @davidism at the pycon sprints and we could not figure out why they needed to be removed or deprecated, or why.

remove support for name guessing from send_file #1427

#1849

@untitaker did you add the "remove *_session" task? What were you referring to?

[methane]

I meant make_null_session, open_session and save_session in Flask class.
session_interface is recommended way.

But I notice they aren't marked as deprecated for now.
So we can't remove them. How about start deprecating?
