Deprecation is more than a "warning" mark. It's a mark to tell people that these functions are not actively supported. You could expect bugfixes or feature enhancements to be given to printf_s, but not necessarily have them "backported" to printf.

Oh, come on, these functions exists for so long that I doubt they are buggy.

However, if Microsoft does plan on continuing active support for the original functions, and doesn't plan on removing them (as you suggest), then there was no reason to deprecate them.. except to encourage people to use the Windows-specific variations.

Sure he wants. But not because they are Windows specific, but because MS thinks that using them leads to less buggy code.
