Yeah. And as I recall, you posted a great list of the language stuff that needed to be deprecated several months back, and that never went anywhere either. I don't know why none of this stuff has been taken care of (especially when there are pull requests for at least some of it). I know that Walter hates deprecating stuff, because it disrupts users, but this is stuff that he agreed on, and the longer that we wait, the more disruptive it will be. - Jonathan M Davis
