let hear

most things deprecated the past years are deprecated because they don't
receive a upstrea update every weak and people depcrate them doing
so because they can't imagine that things just work

if you believe it or not: there exists code which don't neeed
updates and reweites all te time because it just works and given
the amount of bugs in systemd Fedora 20/Rawhide, well, better
there would have been no improvement after Fedora 19

does this care upstream: no it does not

but hey, propose other peoples code to be deprecatd is so much easier
