I would tend to agree.

If we wanted to have a deprecation period I think the smooth way to do
it would be to introduce two new functions/views with the new split.
Then mark the entire old view as deprecated. That way there isn't a
mix of new and old columns in the same view/function.

I don't think it's really necessary to do that here but there'll
probably be instances where it would be worth doing.
