This posting concerns Blitz 3d.
I see these functions as integral parts of the language; if they are removed in the future and not replaced with another feature which provides their functionality, I will not be upgrading.
Docs aren't forever: if these commands are changed or removed, you can add a note to their doc pages stating what changed at what version of B3d.
Disavowing their existence doesn't do your users any favours. If you want to scare beginners away from using these commands, add a note to their doc pages stating that they're advanced commands.
