"get rid of", "eliminate", "gradually deprecating" all mean that the plan is to eliminate the tag. They subtly differ in how this elimination would exactly work, but all describe process of removing tag from use. Number of steps, length of process is not changing that. It is perfectly fine to deprecate/eliminate tags that are harmful, I started or helped this process with numerous ones. But trying to eliminate tag and avoiding calling it deprecation/elimination is silly. I would also advocate to focus on parts of tagging that are without known long-standing gridlock. Like contact:phone vs phone.
