Indeed. I'm also against any deprecation in this area, since that just means needless work for anyone that *do* use these APIs (even if those people are few and far between). If we can refactor to remove the duplication of functionality, that's a *much* better solution. If we can carry optparse style argument parsing and 2.x style string formatting, we can carry a couple of legacy codec interface definitions.
