Right, and it does way "may be", not "will [eventually] be" or something.
Yet every time someone puts a DEPRECATED without EXPIRATION_DATE, someone
else will ask why is that.

I don't like it.  I often want to deprecate a port but stay as long as it
works (while alternatives are better, there might be special cases when a
user might to actually prefer deprecated port -- e.g. because it builds
on their Tier-42 platform where recommeded one does not).
