Hello,

TL;DR there's still heavy use of the old method, so we need to extend
this timeline; I'll put energy into reaching out to identifiable top
users.

In the last month the key vs. header use was about 50-50, so clearly
we can't remove support for the old method just yet. There are some
heavy hitters, so assuming they can make the change there's a chance
this can change. It also helps the cause if you can make this change
as well :-)

As an explicit call for action for the users reading this: when you
use API keys, please use the authorization header ("Authorization: Key
xxxxxxx") instead of the query parameter (?key=xxxx).

The other changes were executed as planned.

Regards,
Robert
