IETF has no means of doing that anyway.  The most we can do is make
recommendations.  So when we use the word "deprecate" it just means we
are withdrawing our previous recommendation to use something.  We don't
pretend we can stop users from doing something that make sense to them,
or even that we can stop users from doing things that make no sense at
all.
