I never questioned depreciated "before", really.  I've seen it in
many release notes and bug reports and understood
it from context.  Like terms I've seen elsewhere:
"bleeding edge" and "postmortem", I've never bothered
analyzing the literal meaning, because I understand the
meaning from context, and that is sufficient for me.  If you
want to start a crusade to convert all of the references
to depreciated into deprecated, then you should start
your work upstream.  I'm merely a user, and I'm learning
the term from usage by developers.
