Currently going through and doing the required removals/deprecations for #1745 and I noticed that _reformat_hb was set for deprecation as part of #1339
.. deprecated:: 1.0
This is a compatibility layer so that we can provide the same output
in timeseries as before. However, for 1.0 we should make timeseries
just return _timeseries, i.e., change the format of timeseries to
the un-ambiguous representation provided in _timeseries.
It seems like some change is required here prior to v1.0.0, but it's unclear to me as to what.
