Ummmm...... don't you mean "deprecate"?  We do that all the time in
programming.  Technical meaning: to declare something obsolete--
"stop using this because it might just go away in the future (with
possibly short notice), and there is a new and better replacement".

P.S. Surely they denigrate too....
