    The BR2_DEPRECATED logic is a lot less useful than the legacy handling,
    because the symbols just disappears without warning to the user. For
    example, we had a few defconfigs that were using deprecated symbols
    (which were not actually used because BR2_DEPRECATED wasn't set) so
    these didn't build the expected code anymore.
    
    Also, the idea behind BR2_DEPRECATED is that you can easily revive it
    again if there is interest. However, it is relatively easy to revert
    the removal of a package as well.
    
    The deprecation is also more effort because it has to be removed twice:
    once when deprecating, and once when really removing.
    
    It doesn't make sense to add a legacy entry for BR2_DEPRECATED. Users
    who actually used it will get legacy warnings instead.
