Is it an error or just something that deserves a warning and the
author's attention? I am asking since we also have augmentations and
if I mark a container as deprecated, this will not immediately cause
an module augmenting the containter to get updated, hence I end up
with definitions marked current in a deprecated container. And there
are other situations where definitions may not be of the same status,
i.e., a module (without import by revision) uses a type or grouping
that in later revisions got marked deprecated. I think all of these
status mismatches are things tools should warn about but I am not sure
these are hard errors, in particular for 'deprecated'. Things may lead
to stronger warnings for definitions marked 'obsolete'.
