Q: 

Sanity check: Is the Adobe ActionScript 3.0 Facebook library deprecated?

Unless I am doing something completely wrong, it seems the "official" AS3 Facebook Library from Adobe seems to be out of date. It seems to only return about 3/5 of a user's data, with Status Updates being the most notably missing piece. The last commit appears to be at least 8 months ago. The library also appears to be using the older REST API, which has since been replaced with the more robust Graph API.

Can anyone confirm that this library is indeed out of date and no longer being supported?

A: 

It seems the best approach these days is to use the JavaScript API and code up your own JS<->AS3 bridge using ExternalInterface. It's annoying but not a terrible amount of work.

That's what I keep seeing, but what I'm really after is a confirmation of whether or not it is actually deprecated.
