"Deprecated" doesn't mean anything here.  It's just a mention in the
documentation.  It doesn't produce actual warnings when used.  And for
good reason: there are valid use cases.

Please explain how the "improvement" would look like.  What is the
intended replacement for the use case I have explained, and how does it
improve on the statu quo?

And if there is an easy replacement, then how about re-implementing
mktemp() using that replacement, instead of removing it?
