It should be removed after 2 releases. Things live longer because
people forget or are busy with other things, but ultimately anything
in the deprecated list is liable to be deleted at any point after
the 2 release minimum is up.
If we change our minds about deleting something, then it should
be un-deprecated.

If you're trying to keep it functional and aren't going to remove
it, then it shouldn't be marked deprecated.
