Also minor changes of just one method, like -[NSString cString] has been depreciated too.
That example actually proves my point perfectly. cString has been deprecated forever, because UTF8String is better. But that doesn't mean cString is going away, because I guarantee that will break a lot of existing apps (since a lot of programmers don't know about UTF8String, or prefer cString for whatever reason).
Apple
may eventually make it so that newly compiled apps can't use cString any more. That's happened. But breaking apps that are in the field, just so they can clean up old functions out of AppKit? That's just not going to happen. Period.
