YANG status-stmt does change the contract for the specific object.
The status deprecated is essentially the same as obsolete. There is
no useful warning that an object can be removed from a server in the future.
The warning says "the object can be removed right now".

The deprecated status could have been defined to be the same as current,
except
the object will likely go away in the future.  Existing implementations MUST
support the object until it is obsolete.  New implementations SHOULD NOT
include the object.

For YANG linkage issues, new revisions SHOULD NOT add new statements that
use
deprecated objects. Existing linkage would be reliable to use until the
referenced definition is obsolete.
