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.
