--- Comment #5 from Christopher Yeleighton <giecrilj at stegny dot 2a.pl> 2011-12-23 00:45:28 UTC --- Well, I am astonished at the carelessness of the LWG. If something is plainly wrong, it should be fixed (which would be trivial in this case) or withdrawn, not deprecated. Deprecation is for things that are slightly inconvenient. Anyway, could we get a warning like for gets?
