In principle, as long as ruleset author wants to maintain
compatibility with savegames from version that had some now removed
object, such as Aqueduct buildings, he needs to have something like:
[deprecations]
buildings = { "type", "action", "value"
"Aqueduct, near lake", "Discard"
"Aqueduct, near river", "Convert", "Aqueduct"
}
