I think we made a good case for why those functions ought to be 
deprecated on Windows in that discussion, and while I stand by my 
arguments, I don't really have anything more to add to re-convince you.

Removing functionality is a drastic step to take, and I won't try to 
deprecate them unless there is a clear consensus that it is the right 
thing to do.
