Makes sense.
I think we may drop a note about this new feature in ORG-NEWS.

I do not see it being used much, except
https://github.com/frederic-santos/ob-ess-julia and
https://github.com/alphapapa/outshine
Although, ob-ess-julia is deprecated and outshine only mentions this in
"TODO" comment.

To be safe, I'd prefer to mark `org-src-associate-babel-session'
obsolete and mention the removal in ORG-NEWS, pointing users to
`org-babel-edit-prep:..' instead.
