Comment (by ayeshrajans):

 In Git, you can check if there have ever been a removal of a function:

 `git diff HEAD~10000..HEAD src/wp-includes/deprecated.php`

 There are line removals (as `git diff --numstat`) would show, but they are
 purely line corrections. I could not find any function that was removed
 with a bisect of all 41,000+ commits in recorded WordPress history
 (although there is a chance this is not accurate).
