In general, I'd agree. The mime api case is special though, because it's
a total mess ;) There are more deprecated functions than non-deprecated!
Currently it's really hard to figure out how to use the mime api looking
at the headers ...

So to have readable headers I think moving them out to -deprecated.h
could make sense. We shouldnt break applications obviously but ... cant
that be solved by including the -deprecated.h header where necessary?
