Maybe, but we never said anything about occur-target to begin with. It's like telling school-children that from now on they should use a different place for smoking weed.

I'm not necessarily against it either. There may be a slight advantage for some code that can make good use of the new format. However, we can keep supporting existing code more or less indefinitely.

It is also really not a good programming interface. I just fixed several bit-rot bugs in tex-mode.el (none related to my changes) and it turns out that the exact details of populating an occur-mode buffer are fiddly and easy to get wrong.
