Comment(by caesarsgrunt):

 By leaving deprecated functions in core forever, wordpress will gradually
 become bloated. Much better to remove them a certain number of releases
 after they are deprecated. If due warning is given at the time of
 deprecation, in can hardly cause any problems. I can see no reason to
 carry on supporting deprecated functions for more than a year or two after
 they were deprecated.
