The sad thing us that I also did a patch for this and lost it. I think
it wouldn't be too hard to convert all the call sites in the backend
and provide a wrapper for other users.

Well, aside from the gruntwork needed to convert all the core code

removing it would be ...
The problem with trying to deprecate it is that the vast majority of
the backend is still using the old interfaces, so people looking for
inspiration for their external modules will likely end up using the
old interface. Like Alvaro I started this conversion a while ago,
got bored, and forgot about it. If people do want this conversion
done while keeping the old interface around, I can track down that
patch, update it and finish it up for the next CommitFest.
