It's certainly in a number of dictionaries, RFCs, and such...

<a href="http://www.quinion.com/words/topicalwords/tw-dep1.htm">Topical Words: Deprecate</a>
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/misc/deprecation/deprecation.html">How and When to Deprecate APIs</a>
<a href="http://www.bartleby.com/62/50/D0405000.html">deprecate. Rogets II: The New Thesaurus, Third Edition. 1995.</a>
<a href="http://www.bartleby.com/61/54/D0145400.html">deprecate. The American Heritage� Dictionary of the English Language</a>

It's also in the OED, meaning it's not just something the "dumb
'Murricans" made up :-).
