Only remaining use is in MediaWiki-extensions-Duplicator, which has no compatibility policy and is used on sites that don't yet support the replacements (not new enough); not going to update it

Hi @DannyS712. I just saw this task. I've already started doing this in the https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/Duplicator/+/644546, so your help would be great. 😃
Change 644546 had a related patch set uploaded (by Zoranzoki21; owner: Zoranzoki21):
[mediawiki/extensions/Duplicator@master] Make extension compatible with the MediaWiki 1.35 and newer
Change 644546 abandoned by Zoranzoki21:
[mediawiki/extensions/Duplicator@master] Make extension compatible with the MediaWiki 1.35 and newer
Reason:
Let's work on one by one option.
This task was filed when I was not expecting to be able to remove the whole Revision class, sorry for the confusion. Resolving now that the entire class has been removed as part of T247143, see rMW983984d5d4a4: EPIC: Remove the Revision class entirely.
