Synapse's author has already been notified. a few days back. Synapse was
using a routine that was considered deprecated since from before 2.0 and
explictely marked with the deprecated directive throughout the entire 2.2
release cycle.

The recent change reflects that it will be removed in 2.4.

Note the legacysocket directive is only there to roll back the change in
emergency situation during the beta phase in 2.4. One can't rely on it to be
in 2.4.
