I don't see any reason to remove them given that it's only about 15
extra lines of code. But if you care enough to get rid of them we
probably need multiple years of actuall warnings emmited when used
before actually removing them. I would be very surprised if there
aren't same users that wouldn't argue very vocally against their
removal.
