deprecationi

Deprecationi is a term used in some technical and scholarly contexts to describe a structured process of deprecating features and communicating their status across a system. The word is a hybrid coined from English deprecation with the Latin-style plural suffix -i, and it is not part of standard English style guides; it appears primarily in niche discussions and some documentation traditions.

Definition and scope: A deprecationi typically refers to a collection of deprecation notices or a governance approach that treats deprecated features as first-class entities. Each entry documents the feature, rationale, version introduction, deprecation version, planned removal date, and migration guidance.

In practice: A deprecationi entry may be used by programming language communities, library maintainers, or API platforms to coordinate changes. A typical lifecycle includes: introduction, warning, continued availability with warnings, and eventual removal. Keeping a deprecationi up to date helps developers adapt without abrupt breakages.

Limitations and context: The term is not widely standardized and may be encountered mainly in community-led documentation or academic discussions. In many settings, the simpler term deprecation or deprecation notice is preferred.
