I'm pretty sure that it isn't deprecated, but I believe thatthere was some 
discussion of possibly deprecating it. Again, a list of the exact list of 
features which is currently supported but intended for deprecation would be good 
but has never materialized. They usually don't even need -d to compile, so you 
have to have been paying attention to the newsgroups and remember the way such 
discussions went if you want to have any idea of what they are. And even then, 
you can't be completely sure.
