My mistake; I should have marked it deprecated when I marked the other
two deprecated 3 months ago.

When I came on board in January we agreed that these keywords were not a
good idea and revamped the entire schema. The comments about deprecation
were added at that time in accordance with discussion on release team,
gnome-hackers, and desktop-devel. I didn't think anyone would ignore the
comments about deprecation so I didn't delete them; I guess that was a
bad idea.
