Should the use of deprecated functions in the stdlib be removed? string.atoi -> int string.atof -> float sys.exctrackback -> sys.excinfo()[2]

Sure.

Should the methods which use gopher also be deprecated?

Is the gopher protocol really dead? Maybe we deprecated it a little too soon; isn't it still in use at some places?
