Yes. Gtk is full of this mess.

Why should anybody need to remove an interface function?
Or to put it differently. Let there be a reason why a call to some
function is not desired. Then the reason must be spelled in the language
terms. E.g. this:
variable value is used before being initialized
and not this:
initialization of this variable will be removed in the next version,
don't use it ever!
