Removing the zscore function from the statistics package might break legacy code. Compared to the Octave core zscore function, the zscore in the statistics package also returns the mean and standard deviation. The best way to deal with this would probably be to change the Octave core function to also return mean and standard deviation and then to remove the zscore function from the statistics package. However, the core zscore function uses the center function instead of calculating the mean directly. So changing the core zscore function would complicate it considerably. I am not sure if this is desirable and what's the best solution.
