See the discussion of deprecation starting with 
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-May/126356.html> (C2X 
has also deprecated those functions).  The comments in that thread 
supported marking the functions deprecated, but it needs someone to send a 
patch and I don't know what breakage might result in applications using 
those functions.
