The implication here being that I'm not removing deprecated code?
The simple reality is that it is not possible for a single individual
remove all the old code in a single hit. It takes a group of people
co-operating, and it takes time.
If you look through the change log you'll notice that deprecated methods
are being removed from the core of GDB, but the -tdep and -nat files are
being left largely untouched. Then, every so often, I or another
maintainer will expunge the deprecated code from a target being it back
into synck. Over time the old code moves to the edges of gdb where it
wilters and dies.
