For Phobos, that _is_ the normal length of the deprecation cycle. For the language itself, I don't think that it's anywhere near as consistent, but I've gotten the impression that deprecations in the language usually stick around for quite awhile, but I haven't exactly tracked it closely, so I don't know. - Jonathan M Davis
