So IMHO, the reason, why KVC is looking also into the "get" version, is due to historic reasons and is definitely not good coding style. Apple might optimize this case away at any time.

Nope. Once it's documented, it isn't changing. They can't break shipping apps.

Um, no, deprecated code is free to disappear at any time. Why do you think you can't create System 7's open/save dialogs any more? It usually won't disappear because it tends to upset developers - but you should never rely on it always being there.

What?!?

Bull. Standard File went away because all of InterfaceLib went away, at the advent of OS X and Carbon. Carbonization automatically required major changes to all apps--everyone was forced to make huge updates to their codebase for the many, many updated APIs. EVERY shipping app required a rebuild to support Carbon. That's the kind of change that happens once every 20 years. Apple is not going to obsolete all known Cocoa apps for a very, very, very long time-- and when they do, there will be bigger changes than this, I promise you.

No, but I would bet my bottom dollar that methods like NSTableView's selectRow:byExtendingSelection: will have disappeared a couple of major versions down the line.
