Deprecated does not mean the same thing as obsolescent.

Declaring a construct deprecated is a statement of intent that
the construct /will/ be removed at some indefinite time in the
future.

Declaring a construct obsolescent is meant to serve notice that
the construct should be avoided if possible because it /may/ be
removed at some future time.
