Took inspiration from these deprecation policies, they all mention that a feature will be deprecated before being removed. - https://peps.python.org/pep-0387/#making-incompatible-changes + Mentions warnings will be raised and that exceptions are done in case of security vulns. - https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy#BACKWARD-COMPATIBILITY-AND-DEPRECATION + Also includes [discouraged](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy#discouraged)(a phase previous to deprecated) and [experimental](https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy#experimental). - https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-community-build/server-update-and-maintenance/maintenance/deprecations/deprecation-policy
