I was suggesting that it be deprecated on the grounds that: (1) It's not part of the Decimal standard. (2) It's not implemented for Python (binary) floats, so why implement it for decimal floats? (3) It's severely use-case challenged. It's a pure integer-based number-theoretic function that has no place in the Decimal module.
