And GNAT already has it.

It is useful, if you figure out that an API has to change, but you want
to give the users of the API some time - and useful help - to adapt
their usage of the API.

I've been putting quite a few Obsolescent aspects into a package
specification this week as a part of the simplification of the
implementation of the package.

Greetings,

Jacob
