NBCog is just a slightly modified Cog VM.
Basicaly it is a Cog VM + NativeBoost plugin.
The "faster" part comes from Cog , which has JIT.
Second, VM is not an image, so saying that something deprecated in
NBCog is incorrect,
because it is deprecated in image you using, and VM is completely
ignorant about such things.
