So, I gather from reading here and allied 'groups, do the ones in 
Firefox - and/or, new ones are introduced that do the same thing (or 
worse, _almost_ the same thing) and cause the ones we know to be 
superseded.

The explanation - when anyone can find one, that is - usually includes 
the horrible and insulting word "deprecated". (Always in the third 
person, as if to give more weight.)

Science isn't about being right every time, or even most of the time. It is
about being more right over time and fixing what it got wrong.
