Thanks. It looks like they're still shipping it (eg, it's in /usr/bin on El Capitan which is otherwise protected) but they're not shipping headers. Do you have a link for them deprecating it?

They put deprecation warnings in the headers starting with 10.7, and I'm pretty sure there was a WWDC talk (hopefully still available) mentioning it.

These two links roughly explain the issues/reasoning:

Yep, they are still shipping the binary, mostly for compatibility for scripts that require it. I have a feeling even that binary is eventually going to get dropped.
