It is exactly deprecating it - see for example 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprecation 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprecation>
"In several fields, deprecation is the discouragement of use of some 
terminology, feature, 
design, or practice, typically because it has been superseded or is no longer 
considered 
efficient or safe, without completely removing it or prohibiting its use. "
