 perhaps, but remove, no?)
 As far as core is concerned this doesn't break anything. The proposed
 usage for third party code is to use  alternative has_cap function anyway
 so - as written -  chance is very likely that this removal won't break
 anything.

 Additionally as written, deprecation has been concerned if it makes sense.
 You have not provided much information to make a dedicated decision which
 of the two alternatives should be preferred.

 If you can shed some more light into this issue this would be really
 appreciated.

 Writing a patch that contains the call to deprecated function is rather
 trivial. The actual decision is more important in my eyes.
