But I think that is being said here is that maybe they won't be
deprecated, at least not any time soon.  And therefore maybe we
shouldn't say so.

Frankly, I think that's right.  It is one thing to say that the new
method is preferred - +1 for that.  But the old method is going to
continue to be used by many people for a long time, and in some cases
will be superior.  That's not something we can deprecate, unless I'm
misunderstanding the situation.
