[Biopython-dev] Unit tests for deprecated modules?

Are there any strong views about when to remove unit tests for
deprecated modules?  I can see two main approaches:

(a) Remove the unit test when the code is deprecated, as this avoids
warning messages from the test suite.
(b) Remove the unit test only when the deprecated code is actually
removed, as continuing to test the code will catch any unexpected
breakage of the deprecated code.

I lean towards (b), but wondered what other people think.
