I am guessing that it was kept originally because a third party template
could be using it and unless it has been marked as deprecated we cant just
remove it all we can do at this time is mark it deprecated.

Technically I think we could remove it because it's not part of our BC promise. However, I agree that we probably shouldn't. Could we at least insert a comment into it to the effect that it will be removed at some point and shouldn't be used if at all possible?
