TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In the programming languages that I'm familiar with
(Java and C++) the term "deprecated" is standard. I
don't know if the same is true in other programming
languages.
If you are writing for programmers (specs, API
reference, SDK docs) I would use the term "deprecated"
because it is standard, well understood and has a
precise meaning. If you are writing for anyone else,
you might substitute a more common word.
Hope this helps.
