Hi!

Being deprecated from POSIX is never a reason to remove tests as far as
the API is exposed to userspace it should be tested.

I wouldn't say it's doing nothing, it asserts that call to getcontext()
returns 0, which is very basic but still a valid test.
What is the real motivation for this removal?
