If they used these pages explicitly (e.g. adding the panel, including or
linking etc.) then they probably know what those pages do, so they can
decide whether to keep them or not.
If they used these pages indirectly, because these pages were exposed in
the standard UI then:
* if they didn't modify the standard pages then the UI will be updated
* if they modified the standard pages then they get a merge conflict, where
they can compare the previous version with the next version to see how the
"deprecated" pages have been replaced.
Thanks,

+1 for moving to an extension that is not bundled by default.
rationale?
AFAIK the Extension Manager doesn't delete pages without asking you first
so you can choose to keep these pages (when asked). And if you don't pay
attention when upgrading then you can restore them from the recycle bin install the dedicated extension.
Ok so you’re saying that users who upgrade will understand this and
they’ll know what those technical pages do and thus they won’t let EM
delete them or they’ll understand that they need to install some dedicated
extension?
I was leaning to the safer legacy approach. The only downside I can think
of about it is that you may keep some pages in your wiki that are
deprecated/not needed.
