[TYPO3-v4] Deprecation might be to restrictive

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi,

with this example [1] i thought about the deprecation log.
In this case the function t3lib_iconWorks::getIconImage is not used in 
core anymore.
However i don't think that we should deprecate it, extensions might use 
this function, and we can't expect that all extension authors will use 
sprites for extension. So in my eyes this method is still a valid way to 
get an icon if no sprites are used.
Don't forget, that all usages from extensions will flood the deprecation 
log. Eg Templavoila doesn't use sprites yet, and this extension is heavy 
in use.

Please share your opinion, thanks.
