Not at all. People appear to completely fail to grasp the notion of "deprecated" in this context. It just means "it may go away in a future version", implying that the rest of it may not go away in a future version. That future version might get published in 2270, when everybody has switched to C++, and compatibility with C is no longer required.

Just for the clarification of those of us who are not C/C++ programmers, are you saying that this is different from the meaning in Python, where "deprecated" means that something IS going away?
