It is also more a hint that something is going on than a final precisely
described verdict.

Like while e.g. unit libc is deprecated (stronger, IMHO never was anything
else), but I don't have plans to remove it as long as it is usable and
maintainable.  I just want to avoid that people grep the sources, find calls
there and start using it.
