Well, I think this quite clearly shows how bad an idea it would be to 
deprecate basic asm.  We are just one project, and ourself and our 
dependencies already have 77+271 uses of them, not counting the testsuite 
which also reflects some real world usage.

I see zero gain by deprecating them and only churn.  What would be the 
advantage again?


Ciao,
