Right now those 2 functions are marked as deprecated because they're not in use. It makes sense since status types are usually returned as a static list in the initialisation phase and there's no need to alter them later on.
However, the Telepathy prpl brings in some complications due to the asynchronous way of working. When buddies are read from blist.xml, purple attempts to call status_types for a prpl that is not yet loaded, so buddies are left without any available statuses. The prpl would need to check for those buddies and add the statuses manually, therefore I propose to reintroduce these functions. Or is there any other solution?
