There are some other widely used interfaces also removed, including 
gethostbyname(), vfork(), and usleep().  I have to admit to having 
largely ignored POSIX for several years, even though I'm still formally 
on the committee and occasionally throw in a hand grenade.

The intent seems to be to unburden minimal implementations, but a "real 
Unix" can hardly do without these for a very long time.
