This didn't seem to happen, so I've now made the changes in CEDET
myself.  They change is similar to Paul's proposed patch, but I added

(define-obsolete-function-alias 'semantic-displayor-cleanup
  #'semantic-displayer-cleanup "27.1")

to all the methods.  (I was pleasantly surprised that these aliases also
worked for methods, not just functions.  Here's my test case:

(defclass foo () nil)
(defclass bar (foo) nil)

(cl-defmethod zot ((a foo))
  :foo)

(define-obsolete-function-alias 'zoot #'zot "27.1")
(cl-defmethod zot ((a bar))
  :bar)

(zot (make-instance bar)) => :bar
(zot (make-instance foo)) => :foo

(zoot (make-instance bar)) => :bar
(zoot (make-instance foo)) => :foo
