It is still unclear whether Andreas requested a revert of this commit:

commit 2ba3cfa1607c36613f3b30fb1ae4ec530245ce64
Author: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>
Date:   Fri Jun 10 10:46:05 2016 +0200

     malloc: Remove __malloc_initialize_hook from the API [BZ #19564]

This is independent of the question if we want to land the 
malloc_get_state/malloc_set_state changes.

If we cannot remove those interfaces, can we at least add further 
deprecation markers?

Thanks,
Florian
