Not gone yet, deprecated means it will be gone, and deprecation in the Linux/Unix/POSIX world tends to last decades and decades

It's gone in some versions. It's been deprecated for quite a while, but few people cared. CentOS 7 removes it, though.

CHECK AND MATE I say! I demand satisfaction! I'm going to have to get my duelling mouse and keyboard.
