Did I miss an announcement or something? Last time I checked X was not deprecated.

How would you even deprecate a protocol? Is HTTP/1.1 also deprecated?

I mean I guess you deprecate a protocol by having the implementations tell people to stop using it, then they stop supporting it.

SSLv2 and SSLv3 are surely deprecated protocols, no?
