When applied, tooling and documentation may emit warnings when the attribute is referenced, guiding developers toward supported alternatives. The goal is to enable progressive migration without breaking existing code.
Implementation and syntax vary by language, but common patterns include a dedicated annotation, pragma, or metadata

Usage considerations: Deprecations should include a clear rationale and a targeted migration path, including the recommended
