Here Stanislas is still right. If you look at the source, you'll notice that 
sql_query() *only* uses the _DEFAULT handler, never anything else.

This means that one really should use the exec_*() methods, because as soon as 
someone configures more than one handler, using e.g. SELECTquery() and 
sql_query() on a table configured for the other handler *will break*. I added 
an explanation to the source in the DBAL ext.

So, utlimately -1 for removing the deprecation notice. And although there ae 
more +1's by now, I'll raise a veto in any case!

(If this means that some optimized code has to be dumped, then so be it.)

PS: I am preparing a patch for the core t3lib_db that changes the code 
documentatoin as well, so don't waste time on this...
