I think we need to assume that an implementer is familiar with the YANG spec, 
and this is just one of the rules to follow. Specifically, RFC 7950 says:

   o  "obsolete" means that the definition is obsolete and SHOULD NOT be
      implemented and/or can be removed from implementations.

This should IMO be sufficient and we needn't repeat in in this document.

Such items will be clearly labelled in both the IANA registry and YANG module.
If they are used in new implementations, it might mostly be, I suspect, due to 
some external pressures rather than implementers' ignorance.
