I don't like crossposting.

Ebuilds, which pass paths to python_mod_optimize() / python_mod_cleanup(),
don't need any changes. Ebuilds, which don't pass paths to python_mod_optimize()
or python_mod_cleanup(), should now pass paths to these functions.
Only small minority of ebuilds don't pass paths to these functions.

python_mod_optimize() without paths hasn't been doing anything for almost 2 years.
python_mod_cleanup() without paths allows for silently incorrect behavior.
Not passing of paths to python_mod_cleanup() is incorrect in many ebuilds.

I'm not breaking anything. Deprecation warnings won't be changed into calls to
die() until all ebuilds in gentoo-x86 are fixed.

It's possible to deprecate and ban functions or their parts as it was discussed
in "Deprecation of python_version(), python_mod_exists(), python_tkinter_exists(),
distutils_python_version() and distutils_python_tkinter() in EAPI <=2" thread [1].
