They have been, resulting in a replacement called "getblocktemplate" which (presumably) almost everyone talking to bitcoin(d|-qt) has been using for a long time. I think removing the ability to mine in the stock package would be regrettable, but to be honest we already don't have it for the mainnet. I think we should do as Jeff suggests and remove getwork. But I think we should also package along a proper getblocktemplate miner to remove any doubt that we're providing a full network node here. (I note that the choice of miner is also easy: Regardless of people's preferences which way or another, AFAIK only luke's bfgminer stuff can mine directly against bitcoin getblocktemplate with no pool in the middle. It also supports a huge variety of hardware, and a superset of our target platforms) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
