I only think I will print Frederick's mails, and regularly read them
again and again.
Deprecated implies «bad, should not exist in OSM database, no one
reviewed this object for the last years». It has very strong
implications in OSM vocabulary. Using it here would have the effect to
readers «Yes, if it's deprecated, of course it should be deleted». No,
they are not deprecated, they only are useless to software parsers. They
may be useful for contributors.
I will not answer anymore to this thread. It feels too much like a
scientific paper submission: If you answer to every objection, even
sometimes with halt-truth, there will come a time when there is no more
to say.

JB, try to avoid swearword outburst, not helpful. Are you taking issue
with the word "deprecated"? The proper word should probably have
been "unnecessary" to discuss the layer=0, per JOSM's naming:
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/browser/josm/trunk/data/validator/unnecessary.mapcss
The wiki deprecation only lists one =no: highway=no, but we are not
discussing that one yet --
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Deprecated_features
I used the word "deprecated" in a more general term, to mean anything
that community has decided to phase out, such as JOSM autofixes and
deprecation list.
I have no clue what you meant otherwise about mixing issues. I am
attempting to answer every possible question being raised. So far
there has been a few very constructive and helpful emails, and lots of
sidetracks. If you want to stay focused, re-read my initial post, as
well as my most latest post with the new tool capabilities, or just
read the Sophox wiki page and try to follow the style of Simon &
Tobias - both have raised valid objections, and in both cases it
resulted in tool's improvements.

You are right that =0 and =no seem like nobrainers, but if we
have listed them as deprecated, we should not use them.
Deprecated? Where did you find that?
(Swearwords somewhere here. Did someone already said that you mix
issues?)
