Comment (by birgire):

 In general (whether that's the outcome here or not, that's to be decided),
 I would think it would be better to deprecate a function, instead of
 removing the function's definition directly as in [attachment:"wp-favicon-
 request.diff"].

 Specifically if the function is not marked as private, i.e. not prefixed
 with underscore {{{_}}}.

 So one could look into the file {{{/wp-includes/deprecated.php}}} for
 storing the deprecated function's definition, use the
 {{{_deprecated_function()}}} function and the {{{@deprecated}}} tag for
 the inline docs.
