Dear @ethanrd and @davidhassell 

I would say that the conformance document should provide our definitive list of 
deprecations. A "deprecation" there is a recommendation not to do it; the CF 
checker gives a warning about any recommendation that can be checked and isn't 
followed. Any deprecations that are mentioned in the text should be in the 
conformance document. Maybe not all of those Ethan has detailed are in it, but 
they should be, I would argue. The first one is there, for example (in section 
3.1 of conformance). Not all of them can be checked automatically, or not 
easily, but they should still be stated anyway, I think.

The deprecation of flawed versions, like in 
https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions/issues/314__;!!G2kpM7uM-TzIFchu!kUMurOT8rcYIzXXzAhlU6BrEToF41437qUTEuV23qou4AwZaz6trDPym9saIq-h42zjFG4LsGjY$
 , is different. In this case, we have identified an error in the convention, 
which allows metadata to be written that *can't* be interpreted reliably. In 
the other cases, there's nothing actually wrong, and the recommendations are 
made with the aim of writing metadata which is easier to use in some way.

Best wishes

Jonathan
