It is possible to set `DEPRECATED` without an `EXPIRATION_DATE` (for instance, recommending a newer version of the port), but the converse does not make any sense.

There is no set policy on how much notice to give.
Current practice seems to be one month for security-related issues and two months for build issues.
This also gives any interested committers a little time to fix the problems.
