It will be kept around *at least* for as long as libcurl supports the version 
7 API: for the forseeable future. Posssibly decades.

All curl symbols ever introduced are documented clearly in which version they 
appeared. See:

   https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/symbols-in-versions.html

To map the version numbers to release dates, this second table comes handy:

   https://curl.haxx.se/docs/releases.html

CURLOPT_WRITEDATA was added in curl 7.9.7, shipped on May 10 2002.

In the curl project we often see users use *very* old versions but 18 years is 
longer than even the most conservative users I've seen...
