There are specific questions about whether there are important use-cases enabled by Privacy Lists which are unavailable via '191 and '186; but there is no general principle that every feature of a deprecated protocol must be available in its successor(s), nor that there even are successors. Also, deprecating a protocol doesn't mean you're not allowed to implement or use it. Just that it shouldn't be expected anymore. Dave.
