In the fixed version of the plugin I have written in the about section: "about=THIS PLUGIN IS NO LONGER ACTIVELY MAINTAINED. PLEASE USE CADDIGITIZE INSTEAD: https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/CADDigitize/";
So the idea behind the update is just to fix the problem for the users who have installed the plugin and point them to an alternative. I think that these users won't find out that they should get rid of the plugin if it's just flagged as deprecated or does the user get a message for already installed plugins if they get flagged as deprecated?
