Decomissioned VORs - why are they still on the charts?

[Kritchlow]

So far, most people here and on the red board have accepted that as legal and appropriate.

I would hope so. It was SOP for many years. Every high altitude airplane did it, including airliners.

What happened to "fly heading xxx until able direct yyy"? I've literally crossed the country via radar vector.
That was pretty standard in the days prior to gps. More for high altitude, and obviously not for intersections however.

Vectors are always legal.
