I agree. I changed a lot of the calls in applications to use the new 
functions, and just deprecated the old functions rather than check whehter 
they were still used and delete them. This allowed me to speed up the 
transition which was already taking a long time. Many of the deprecated 
functions will already be unused and can easily be deleted - it's just a 
matter of doing lots of greps (or whatever) to determine this. There is still 
some code which uses the old functions, and that needs further looking at to 
decide how to change it. I've removed a few deprecated functions already 
since the initial commit, but if you or anybody else wants to do this, that 
would be welcome and leave me more time to spend on other things that remain 
to be done.

Do you think it's useful for a library which was an internal library in KDE 3?
