What about this from the libsodium web site?

"NaCl ships with constructions that were just prototypes, and that shouldn’t be used any more."

What does "shouldn't be used any more" mean? Certainly not security, or djb would have released an update. Compatibility with other products? Something else?

No, IIRC Bernstein improved his public key signing system, and libsodium uses the new version. Neither construction is useful for standard TLS.
