system.dataset.toPyDataSet removed in 8.3?

I get that this function will no longer be necessary in 8.3, but the documentation actually says that it has been removed, suggesting that any use of it will break scripts. Surely that can't be the case. Please tell me that it's only deprecated, not gone entirely...

This function was removed from Ignition in version 8.3

Just deprecated/hidden, that's a documentation mistake.

I have customers that are using that function. Do I need to make them convert to the utilizing the dataset methods as part of 8.3 conversions to help future proof things?

Deprecated system.dataset.toPyDataSet and the entire concept of manually wrapping datasets as "PyDatasets". Instead, all datasets will transparently be exposed to scripting as if they were PyDatasets, in a backwards compatible manner.

The above is from the change notes for 8.3.
In theory you can just ignore the change completely, but legacy code will also work fine for now.
