"Deprecated" means that something is obsolete and shouldn't be used 
anymore.

Everyone is using dig and host now adays. I don't agree with nslookup 
being deprecated, personally. There's no utility that does what it has 
always done. It's interactive. It's been part of the BSD standard for a 
long time. While Linux may be GNU based, much of it's internal layout 
(especially networking) and many of its utilities' layout can be credited 
to BSD.
