Calling it a “deprecation” when it’s been removed entirely seems like a misuse of the word.


From the release notes: "Python Deprecations: Python 2.7 was removed from macOS in this update. Developers should use Python 3 or an alternative language instead. (39795874)"

What word, exactly, is being used dishonestly? Python 2 was removed from the default install because it is deprecated in favor of Python 3. There is nothing dishonest or unclear about that in the release notes. What word in that message do you regard as being "misused" in context?
