Ah, well, yes, there was a brief period about ten years ago during which the Zsh Dev Group was seriously considering excising all the csh features from zsh and making it essentially a ksh clone. The manuals got updated then to say a lot of things were "deprecated" and the tarnish has never been scrubbed off again. The chances of them actually being removed from the shell are pretty remote. They might get moved into a module if we figure out how to make bits of the parser (un)pluggable, but they probably won't entirely go away.
