remove those methods? They would break so much software by doing so
that it's not even silly. If they do, it will be a very, very long time
before they are able to do so. When I write an app that has 10.3 as the
minimum requirement, then and only then will I use these new methods.
Bad strategy, unless you fully expect that your software doesn't have a
particularly long usable lifespan. The point of deprecating methods is
to give fair warning that at some point in the future they _will_ go
away, so that by the time that happens they won't be breaking any
software that gets even cursory maintenance. Not today. Probably not
with 10.4. But if you get caught scrambling to fix half a dozen
programs in November 2005 you'll have only yourself to blame. And so
will your users.
