Description

It is at least clear to me that GPFS is one of the most dominate snitches in installations I see, with there being no good reason to continue using PFS any longer. Since GPFS has a direct migration path from PFS, we can deprecate it in a major release and remove it (and the backward compatibility cruft in GPFS) in a later one. This will prevent the sort of problem that caused me to file CASSANDRA-11508.

We could also just remove the migration path, if someone really, really wants to use PFS for the rest of time.
