I assume you're referring to the deprecated interfaces.  I've been removing some of the really old stuff (eg 2008 and prior), but I think we need to set official removal dates for deprecated interfaces.  It'll probably be somewhere like 2 years or so from its original deprecation date.  If/when CIL is finished, and refpolicy transitions to a proper high level language, the deprecated interfaces will almost certainly be shed.
