11388	Deprecated functions: Formally deprecate and/or move to deprecated.php	nacin		"A few functions that should be moved to deprecated.php, found when going through deprecated code and phpdoc in #7493 and #11386. Many are missing the _deprecated_function() call but are marked as deprecated in phpdoc. Some have the call and just need to be moved.

Move to deprecated.php and improve phpdoc, unless there is a reason to keep these in 110n.php --
{{{
__ngettext()
__ngettext_noop()
}}}

Move to deprecated.php, improve phpdoc, and add _deprecated_function() call --
{{{
get_the_attachment_link()
get_attachment_icon_src()
get_attachment_icon()
get_attachment_innerHTML()
get_link()
dropdown_categories()
dropdown_link_categories()
}}}

Additionally, dev-feedback is necessary for two situations:

 1. To consider the pre-2.8 escape functions in formatting.php as candidates for formal deprecation.

 2. To consider a new pluggable-deprecated.php (or deprecated-pluggable.php) file to hold pluggable functions that have since been deprecated, to discourage their use and lower their profile. They are wp_setcookie(), wp_clearcookie(), wp_get_cookie_login(), and wp_login(). Or, at the very least, wp_login() needs a _deprecated_function() call added.

Waiting to formally patch, pending traction and feedback on all of this."	enhancement	closed	normal	3.0	Inline Docs	2.9	normal	fixed	has-patch commit	sirzooro
