AFAIU we don't use "deprecated" in Emacs at all.

Alternatively, how about this.  Every time an obsolete file is removed,
it gets moved to some other folder (i.e. obsolete-gone) that is not
scanned for autoloads or byte-compiled, or possibly even in a repository
maintained separately from the rest of Emacs.

People who want those files can simply copy them to obsolete/ and hope
they work.
