Feature #21264

Updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze) 10 days ago

Note: This is not for Ruby 3.5. 

 `Date` and `DateTime` has no primary maintainer in 10+ years. I would like to deprecate `date` via bundled gems for reducing our maintenance time especially @nobu. 

 But `Time.parse` `Time.prase` and `Time.strptime` are widely used now. How do we deprecate `date` library? 

 1. Migrate `Date._strptime`, `Date.strptime` and `Date._parse` to `Time`. The current `Date` is migrated as bundled gems. 
 2. Migrate `Date` to the bundled gems. `Time.parse` and `Time.strptime` warns if `date` is not found. 
 3. Keep the current situation 
 4. ... 

 Does anyone have another idea?
