Fatal.pm still has a lot of guts in it, but it's unknown how many things are still
dependent on it. I would still add a '(DEPRECATED)' into Fatal's ABSTRACT (line 3),
and add some deprecation metadata though (since you're using dzil, [Deprecated] can do this).
Depending on how ugly Fatal's code is, it could even print a runtime warning when it is used (like Any::Moose and other obsolete things do).
