Actually these fetch backend shouldn't even be needed by the end
users.  "git fetch" simply does not drive them these days.

You forget that this backend is a plumbing component, which might well be 
used by other porcelains. IIRC cogito uses it, optionally.

You are correct that these plumbing commands can be called by
Cogito, but we are not removing them but merely deprecating
them.  And I thought Cogito itself is deprecated these days,
so...
