That's because it hasn't. No-one has obsoleted any netrc function, and
it's totally reasonable to assume that netrc.el is the Emacs netrc library.
As was pointed out in 12511, Emacs has multiple netrc parsers
(netrc-parse, tramp-parse-netrc, auth-source-netrc-parse,
ange-ftp-parse-netrc). It's a mess.

Then please start by making it obsolete and advertising a replacement.
