I would suggest that deprecation (without a specific expiry date) is
a good way to issue that recommendation.

I don't know of any recent cases but there have been past cases where
people have unknowingly installed obsolete ports and then run into
problems.  It would be useful if there was a mechanism to warn users
that the port they are about to install (or have installed) is no
longer recommended.
