(answering to both wm4 and James) Because downstream users need time to update their applications. Last time we postponed removing everything exactly for this reasons since applications wanted to have more time, especially since this round requires a little development effort for a few APIs, especially the oldest ones (get_buffer, off the top of my head). Next round seems a much lighter one, and external conditions are allowing us to possibly reduce the deprecation period, so perhaps we will be able to drop a few of the remaining ones at next release rather than wait for two cycles. This will be very likely discussed during VDD, but feel free to voice your opinion if you are not attending.
