The intention of mentioning that a tag is not directly deprecated by a proposal is to avoid that people's votes will be used as the reason for deprecation. So we cannot say "people have approved conditional restrictions, so it's already decided that maxspeed:wet is deprecated". But it is not a guarantee that the tag will never be deprecated. It just means that this is a _separate_ decision, i.e. we might decide to approve the proposal, but keep using the other tag nevertheless. However, in this case I think deprecation would be a sensible choice. Even as the author of "Conditions for access tags", which iirc was the first proposal to document maxspeed:wet along with other such tags in 2009, deprecation would be fine with me.
