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.

All of the recent Phobos deprecations have been a year. 18 months
at most.
