+### Deprecation Policy
+
+Minor releases may deprecate, but not remove APIs. Deprecating APIs allows the
+Rust programs to still compile, but will generate compiler warnings. This gives
+downstream crates time to migrate to non deprecated APIs prior to their 
removal.
+
+All deprecated APIs are marked using the `#[deprecated]` attribute with both 
the
+first version they were deprecated in, and what new API to use instead.
+
+```rust
+#[deprecated(since = "51.0.0", note = "Use `date_part` instead")]
+```
+
+Deprecated APIs will be kept for at least two major releases after they were
