I would like to open discussion on an RFC to deprecate and later

Final chance for feedback on this RFC, as revised, before I put it to
a vote.
There's been very little reaction on this thread, which I'm hoping
means everyone's either planning to vote "Yes" or just doesn't care...
Regards,
While I agree the functions are often used incorrectly, what worries me
about this RFC is that the only viable alternatives for these functions
are in two optional extensions, which in practice will mean lots of
projects will need to start polyfilling the old functions and/or start
including a polyfill for one of the extensions, as they can not rely on
those optional extensions being turned on.
