 > I don't get why it should be deprecated. get_permalink() isn't a theme
 function so to me it shouldn't have to follow the pattern.
 > I use it a lot in plugins for all kinds of things and it has most of the
 time nothing to do with a theme.

 Even if this function may be used outside the loop, it's used in themes
 and templates, specifically when concatenating to build a html
 string/block for later printing, or for special processing.

 As long as it's a "soft" deprecation and aliasing, I see no problems. The
 pro is making it a bit easier to learn basic WordPress functions. For us
 who have learned, there is no point.
