I really don't understand that.

No it also exists because not every user got access to the page tree and
sometimes it is good to preconfigure the backend as much as possible for
a user.

If it is really deprecated, there should be:
* a news message explaining all things which are deprecate
* remove the flag with 4-5 (See below)

The only usage of the field is to create a new start of a tree. If that
doesn't work anymore, the field is not only senseless but also annoying.
If the field is used for things besides this, the core doesn't need to
care because it is really really simple to add new fields to the table!
