The OP said NSDateComponents, not NSCalendarDate. NSDateComponents will not be deprecated any time soon. And despite what the docs say, I don't think NSCalendarDate is going away soon, because only NSCalendarDate supports encapsulating a time zone within a date.

In any case, if you can avoid using NSCalendar/NSDateComponents to make a calendrical calculation, I'd recommend you do so. NSCalendar is quite slow to make even the most basic of calculations, especially on PPC Macs.
