It's a shame POSIX is keeping it around, but it appears you're right:

In fairness, this does say it may be removed from a later standard.

Hey, they dropped `gets` from the standard
library! Never say never.
When did that finally happen? Last I looked, gets() was still part of
POSIX, and hence couldn't be dropped... Trivia: I think it was OpenBSD that nobbled gets() to
print a warning
whenever it was invoked :-)
