But something not working in a future OS X release is.
Apple doesn't remove deprecated APIs unless they change the architecture, ie a different ABI. For example all the previous round of deprecated API in 10.6 got removed *only* for x86_64 - marked is unavailable in 64bits. They are still present in i386 (32bits) So the only risk is that the next iteration of the ABI will make the code not buildable for it. We are still pretty much on the safe side for the ABI (architectures) we support: i386 and x86_64 on MacOS X.
