The usage of those builtins with deleted functions after C++11 is pretty broken which is a pretty good reason, but for earlier language versions they work 'fine' and if people want to use C++03 I prefer leaving them at peace :)

Agreed with Erich -- warnings in system headers (but not regular headers) are silenced by default, you need to pass `-Wsystem-headers` to enable them.

My feeling is: if it's deprecated and we don't warn on it, it's not actually deprecated. I'd rather see us warn uniformly on all the deprecated interfaces. System headers are free to keep using these interfaces (system headers are long lived), but any user code using this needs some sort of notification that they're using something we don't want them to use, or we will never be able to get rid of these interfaces (at which point, we should undeprecate them because we need to keep them working).
