The #import directive is *not* deprecated in Objective-C and you should *not* switch to #include with include guards; Apple owns the Objective-C language specification and I don't recall them ever saying any such thing.

Yes, there have been plenty of threads about this over the years. Unfortunately, the default build of GCC continues to not conform to the language standard and emit obsolete warnings.

Trying to insist the Mac OS X way of doing, well, anything with respect to Objective-C is broken or obsolete is a waste of time, at least until there's a formal vendor-neutral standards committee for Objective-C that decides to standardize on different behavior. Just conform with it already.
