That's an interesting expectation. As co-author of the planned deprecation draft, I'd been assuming a more classical deprecation action, in which we would simply state the previous semantics of FEC0::/10, state that the prefix SHOULD NOT be used, but leave it permanently assigned by IANA. This would break nothing that runs today.
