Comment (by costdev):

 Here are some references to usage by plugins and themes. There is only one
 plugin with installs that has been tested up to the latest three major
 releases, or within the last two years.

 - [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01GR96FTCAX9Z7Y8R6BASDBTP4 Themes]

 If there are concerns about backward compatibility that mean this file
 should not be deprecated, that's understandable.

 Otherwise, this file has been patched many times over the past number of
 years adding to the maintenance burden, and we should consider deprecating
 it.
