They're clutter, and they've been deprecated for a while, which means that no 
one has been able to use them without -d for a while. It's also trivial to fix 
code which uses them, because they're primarily naming changes. It's just not 
worth keeping that kind of clutter around in the library IMHO. And the 
documentation has made it clear that they were going to be removed.
