Its for correct usage of English and grammar.
Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
Benjamin: I thank you too for verifying that I was not crazy.
Martin: I noticed native/non-native split too, and chalked it up to a subtle difference between German and English.
For future reference, the problem with the original, as I see it now, is a subtle interaction between syntax and semantics. The original sentence combined two thoughts about has_key. The two should be either
coordinate (parallel in form) or one should be clearly subordinate. A subordinate modifier should generally be closer to the subject, especially if it is much shorter. Making that so was one of my suggestions. The coordinate form would be 'but it is deprecated'. But this does not work because 'it' would be somewhat ambiguous because of the particular first modifier.
The following pair of sentences illustrate what I am trying to say. Guido was once a Nederlander, but he moved to America. Guido was once a student of Professor X, but he moved to America.
In English, the second 'he' is ambiguous because of the particular first modifier.
So, to me, 'but deprecated' at the end of the sentence reads as either a misplaced subordinate form or as an abbreviated coordinate form that is at least somewhat ambiguous because of the meaning of the other modifier.
git
Linus Torvalds has quipped about the name "git", which is British English slang for a stupid or unpleasant person:
“ I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First Linux, now git.”
This self-deprecation is certainly tongue-in-cheek, insofar as Torvalds did not, in fact, name Linux after himself (see History of Linux).

console font and resolution in ubuntu (Hardy Heron)
When ubuntu (Hardy Heron) booted by default, the console resolution and font ( ALT-F[1-6]) were really awful. Searched a lot to arrive at this solution.
To change your Console Resolution:
Go to your default kernel line and remove splash and add vga=791
The vga argument can take values from 791 to 795, google for the resolutions.
You have to remove splash term from that line, otherwise it wont get set.
To change your console font.
Follow the interview screens and choose the font to your preference.
For me, VGA with Size 16 worked best.
To change your Console Resolution:
sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.lst
Go to your default kernel line and remove splash and add vga=791
The vga argument can take values from 791 to 795, google for the resolutions.
You have to remove splash term from that line, otherwise it wont get set.
To change your console font.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
Follow the interview screens and choose the font to your preference.

Bogosort
"In computer science, bogosort (also random sort, shotgun sort or monkey sort) is a particularly ineffective sorting algorithm. Its only use is for educational purposes, to contrast it with other more realistic algorithms. If bogosort were used to sort a deck of cards, it would consist of checking if the deck were in order, and if it were not, one would throw the deck into the air, pick up the cards up at random, and repeat the process until the deck is sorted."
