Consider that that the normal, MINIMUM waiting period for *removing*
an interface or functionality is six months. I would argue that this

Wireless Tools with the new API were released in
April. wpa_supplicant with the new API was release May 5th. That makes
it 6 months.
Wireless Tools v28 was included in Gentoo April 11th and in
Debian testing May 27th. wpa_supplicant 0.4.9 was included in Gentoo
May 27th and Debian testing June 10th.

Please consider the facts before assuming.
