Re: Several _METHOD structs not marked as deprecated in 3.0.0-beta2

Hi,

This seems to be an oversight so I created issue #16272: Several legacy structs are not marked as deprecated.

Hi,

While checking out the 3.0.0-beta2 release, I noticed that several of the _METHOD structs are not marked as deprecated. With the introduction of the provider mechanism, they don't seem relevant anymore. Is there a reason for this, or is it just an omission?

For example, see DH_METHOD here: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/9f551541e84eead1d42604b7d5e61885e8e34be0/include/openssl/types.h#L134-L135

Others I have seen are RAND_METHOD and EVP_PKEY_METHOD.

Thanks,

Reinier
