dbm symbols? In or out?

[tytso@mit.edu]

We currently have listed in the specification the ndbm functions.
However, most of the old dbm functions are still in the "undecided"
state.  To wit:

dbminit		(already listed as excluded)
dbmclose
fetch
store
delete
firstkey
nextkey

Given that dbminit is already listed as excluded, I propose that we
exclude all of these.  The old dbm function have been deprecated in
favor of the ndbm function names for a very long time now.  

Does anybody know of any common application or standards specification
that might argue in favor of keeping these functions?  (The latter is
important, since otherwise someone will have to come up with
specification definitions for all of them.)
