The C++ standard defines "deprecated" as "Normative for the current
edition of this International Standard, but having been identified as a
candidate for removal from future revisions.  I see no statement of
intent.  (The C standard has a similar definition, but for
"obsolescent".)

The distinction you describe would make sense, but I'd be interested in
seeing a source for it.
