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.
