Is C++ capable of deprecating or simplifying anything?

Honest question, haven't followed closely. rand() is broken,I;m told unfixable and last I heard still wasn't deprecated.

Is this proposal a test? "Can we even drop support for a solution to a problem literally nobody has?"

One obvious example is auto_ptr. And from what I can see it is quite successful -- in a well maintained C++ codebase using C++ 11 or later, you just don't see auto_ptr in the code.
