True. But the context of this thread was whether deprecation made sense or not. I was agreeing with Chris that the DateTime problems are better solved by replacement than by patching, but also that there is a large amount of code that has been made to work using the current DataTime and that investment needs to be protected.
I agree that is should be replaced but I also mentioned that we tried to achieve that already some years ago and we gave up....so talking about deprecation really makes sense when someone puts a replacement module on the table. I know that the DateTime module is a piece of crap but crap you can live mostly with (as long as you don't need timezones :-)). -aj
