A pretty easy document, and always good to clear out old cruft. I do wonder exactly how well understood "deprecated" is in the wider community. E.g., (i) the definition of deprecated in YANG (RFC 7950) is: o "deprecated" indicates an obsolete definition, but it permits new/continued implementation in order to foster interoperability with older/existing implementations. (ii) the definition in Java is: A program element annotated @Deprecated is one that programmers are discouraged from using, typically because it is dangerous, or because a better alternative exists. Compilers warn when a deprecated program element is used or overridden in non-deprecated code. I think that the definition that security uses is presumably much closer to (ii), or not even stronger in sentiment to move away from it? I tried to search and find a definition in IANA of exactly what deprecated means, but with no luck. Perhaps there is already a security definition of deprecated that could be referenced, or if not, it might be helpful to: - in Section 5, unambiguously specify what is meant by deprecated. - in Section 7, bind the definition of the Status column back to Section 5.
