Not really. According to "dict deprecate", the roots of deprecate (de- + precari) mean "to avert by prayer". The WordNet definition is "express strong disapproval of; deplore". In computer terminology, deprecated features are those which *still exist* but that the "vendor" do not want you to use anymore. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF6dNWS9HxQb37XmcRAtUBAJ40oWZ6/VFcXLWNWq7nmLLZoRw9twCcDC/n L3tnYMCe53V34SYQcRW0xGQ= =QfX6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
