Noone should use gets(). There are lots of better alternatives. For the other deprecated functions, there are ways to check that the input is valid before calling it, iirc.
I agree that nobody uses it, and that there are better alternatives, I was just using it as an example. You are correct, though about there being ways to check the input.
As far as imnplementing the secured functions in Wine, I have yet to see a program that's failing because it tries to use one of them.
I do agree that we shouldnt implement it until a program fails. I know I worded the email wrong. I was actually just wondering if we had any plans to implement them in the future and if we had the resources to do that.
