The existence of list comprehensions are the reason that these
functions are going away, so they aren't likely to be next. It's all
part of "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way
to do it."

Personally, I hope they wind up in a "functional" module, so you can add
"from functional import *" to the top of your scripts, and keep doing
exactly what you've been doing.
