In other projects it does, in ours it implies it 'by definition', even
if it doesn't mean it (in effect). That ambiguity (in effect) is
*exactly* why I reckon ALERT/NOTICE/WARNING/FOO is better.

Stating that there is an EOL date, and saying something is EOL *now*,
are different. If we had the ability to distinguish between the two,
there wouldn't be an issue. Right now we can't, or it doesn't make sense
because our DEPRECATED/EXPIRES are loaded in the sense that they imply
"NOW", which again is exactly what I was getting at.
