No, actually, if you deprecate something, and provide a better alternative, you can remove the deprecated thing later. Take Object.prototype.eval, for example. Nobody uses that much anymore. If it's removed from Mozilla, probably some pages will break, but not that many. Most people know better than to use that. I'm surprised it's been hanging around in for so long.
