.Sh DEPRECATION NOTICE perhaps?

52

"now" seems a bit surprising to me in a man page (as opposed to a release note, news article etc.), what about just The .Nm utility is deprecated.?

Just copied other practice that I found. A quick grep of 12 shows, however, that the other practice I found was wrong. I'll change.

Just copied other practice. This is verbatim from the vpo deprecation note which I stole from some other man page. i'll hunt down the other places that have this construct.

A document describing the language and process of depreicating would be good to have.

I agree with Ed here, now should be stricken from this, and if there are other places those too.

Looks like vpo was the only other place. I've fixed that in the MFC and don't see others so I now wonder where I got it...

The only place I could find it was

Note that
.Va SENDMAIL_CF
is now deprecated.

in make.conf.5. I may have seen that in a grep or something... I'll fix that in -current too.

I've just updated
https://wiki.freebsd.org/DeprecationChecklist
a bit to include the recommended language. I'd forgotten I'd created this. Some of the information in here would be good to have in the committer's guide, though.
