These outdated calls introduce weaknesses that newer solutions have addressed. Because they are no longer actively maintained, flaws persist or are overlooked. Newer calls typically include better security measures, whereas older ones do not gain those improvements. The other statements are incorrect because an older call has hazards even if it is documented, external support does not offset vulnerabilities, and it lacks the improvements found in modern solutions.
