This is not, and has never been, the policy for deprecation for C API functions. We have a strict policy of ABI compatibility (for better or for worse) in these C bindings, these functions must stay.

Now, am I saying this is a good thing: absolutely not. I think this policy makes very little sense and we ought to get it changed. There's just not much will to do so at the moment.
