I would also leave the copyright doc block as it is and only use the one below.

I have to put exclusions into the build/deleted_file_check.php so the files and folders of these modules will not be reported by that tool as to be added to the deleted files and folders in script.php.

I will do that after this PR has been merged.

Update: Ah, I just see that will happen in Joomla 8.

@IOAI wanted to make quite sure that the whole module (folder with all files) will be removed. Will ad a new deprecation chapter to the manual

For [8.0] The modules also must be removed from database installation files. (no update files) I will open an issue for that - or better a PR?
