Deprecated is past tense so either "was deprecated" or "has been deprecated" works. Can someone, more knowledgeable than I, confirm this?

- pbhjpbhj 16y agoI'm no English major by any stretch, they never teached us grammar at school ;0) My take: Deprecated is also used in computing to refer to the current status of a particular service or part (e.g. of a program or OS). "Parallel port printing is deprecated" means "Parallel port printing is 'no longer going to be supported going forward and likely to be removed completely'". Strictly yes it was deprecated as a completed action in the past but the status is that it is deprecated now.
