Answer
If a feature is listed as deprecated, IBM reserves the right to remove this capability in a later product release. A feature is generally not removed after announcement of deprecation until at least two major releases or one full year, whichever time period is longer. IBM reserves the right to remove a feature immediately when warranted. Migrate your existing configuration to use the alternative.
