Those functions have been marked as deprecated in version 1.6 with the 
same information - they still exists there. They were removed in 1.7 
trunk for the coming 1.8 stable.

So a normal user that updates from 1.4 to 1.6 gets exactly this 
information. He updates his uses clauses and when he updates to the 
future 1.8 version, there won't be no problem.

So your problem is that you moved from 1.4 to 1.7 trunk without the 1.6 
intermediate step. Your rant is not valid and completely unnecessary.
