The problem I see is that C sucks really really bad as a scripting
language, and tying together plumbing functionality into porcelain is
one of the most powerful, flexible and hack-friendly features of git.
Deprecating scripts is making git more opaque.

Having tools being implemented in C rather than shell won't remove the
tools for you to be able to write scripts and do your plumbing. It might
remove some examples for you to write your plumbing, though.

Actually, the scripts are being moved into contrib/examples for this
reason, so, they're still available.
