OK,
I changed my point-of-view on this topic and will close the discussion as
`not-to-fix`.
We don't need to deprecate any NPM package.
I have looked at a few major projects and almost all of them have never
deprecated a package. Only a few projects use heavily used the `npm deprecate`

So, agreed, you did not say to deprecate minor, I meant to say we should
not deprecate any minor OR patch ...

the most recent major versions, so this may be pretty meaningless.

I would favor a slightly more flexible approach on this:
- only support 1-2 minor versions back
- It goes without saying that if a security release needs a min
I have not seen any documentation or guidelines on npm package management
concerning deprecations.
Within the last, so many releases that I have performed, I have not once

From our previous stances on version support, we typically only support the
