Even if we finally decided to deprecate the current API and move to a unified target in the function signature, I think we still need to keep it for 2 release cycles so that the community could really get onboard.

   > @junrushao1994 I think we should aim to just have one way to declare Targets. we don't have to remove the other way here, but I think it would be good to indicate the "preferred" way to new users by marking one way deprecated.
   
   I would actually go further and disagree, we should strive to eventually only have one way and push to delete everything but the preferred way. I feel like we use lots of extra arguments instead of composite objects and over all feel like we should move towards bundling commonly packaged state into single objects.
