It was deprecated because the query is sucky on anything but a small install and you really don't want to do it on every page load where you want to display the list.

It is also not something that most sites want.

An idea solution would use a similar query to build the list and then make heavy use of caching with the result.

Depending on how often your list changes you might want it to cache for minutes or for the cache to be invalidated when someone adds/modifies a new site
