The cost of retaining/maintaing this code is minimal, since it is typically just an alternative interface to data which would be needed for the replacement MIBs. Removing such objects would inevitably lead to an increase in support load, answering questions about "where has this information gone?" If a particular MIB variable is fundamentally broken, then we would remove it (as has happened with the relocatable "exec" output). But if it's simply been replaced by an improved version, then there's nothing really to be gained by withdrawing the old code. That's my (personal) take on this, anyway.
