Not necessarily - it depends what versions you need to support, and what 
your migration strategy is.

Since it's just a deprecation notice initially, you could support 8.1 
and 8.2 on the same code base with no changes at all - that's what 
deprecation notices are for, to give a lead time before changes are 
mandatory.

Once the code base no longer needed to support 8.1, "extends 
DynamicObject" could be added. For many code bases, that will be long 
before the feature is actually removed - for a private project, maybe as 
soon as it's on 8.2 in production.
