+They have been, resulting in a replacement called "getblocktemplate"
+which (presumably) almost everyone talking to bitcoin(d|-qt) has been
+using for a long time.
+
+I think removing the ability to mine in the stock package would be
+regrettable, but to be honest we already don't have it for the
+mainnet. I think we should do as Jeff suggests and remove getwork. But
+I think we should also package along a proper getblocktemplate miner
+to remove any doubt that we're providing a full network node here. (I
+note that the choice of miner is also easy: Regardless of people's
+preferences which way or another, AFAIK only luke's bfgminer stuff can
+mine directly against bitcoin getblocktemplate with no pool in the
+middle. It also supports a huge variety of hardware, and a superset
+of our target platforms)
