I would argue that, rather, redundant, superceded, and voluntarily
retired licenses are all subcategories of deprecated.  However, none of
those words carry the implication for developers and companies that
"deprecated" does; that simple word conveys the idea that the license
exists but should not be used.  None of the other catergory words we've
chosen work in that fasion.
