Re: [rfa/i386] Make codestream deprecated?



Besides: this is why you should _remove_ them, rather than just
commenting them, if you want them to go away.
The implication here being that I'm not removing deprecated code?

The simple reality is that it is not possible for a single individual remove all the old code in a single hit. It takes a group of people co-operating, and it takes time.

If you look through the change log you'll notice that deprecated methods are being removed from the core of GDB, but the -tdep and -nat files are being left largely untouched. Then, every so often, I or another maintainer will expunge the deprecated code from a target being it back into synck. Over time the old code moves to the edges of gdb where it wilters and dies.
