FYI: KSP automatically convert zDeprecated parts in crafts

[Jestersage]

I noticed that 1.7 have the following in patchnote

"Previously Revamped Parts moved to zDeprecated. Parts revamped in 1.4:"

So I want to know if a craft is in 1.3 with the old parts, will they work, automatically converted, or just plain fail?

EDIT: I just tried it out. Basically it does the automatic conversion if you go tryToLoad anyway (with kerbalX mod)

What I did: loaded an old Raptor9's craft (in this case, his EV-2C with Thunder) made in 1.2 and still have "Mark1-2Pod" resave it, and it automatically becomes "mk1-3pod" in the file.

The whole point of zDeprecated is that old parts will continue to work. They are even still accessible through the Advanced menu in the editor.

But how is that different from what had been doen from 1.4 to 1.6?

EDIT: I just tried it out. Basically it does the automatic conversion if you go Try To Load anyway (with kerbalX mod). Have not tested it with pure stock loader.
