Comment (by Frank Klein):

 I propose to keep this ticket as an overall way to track progress, while
 breaking out into separate tickets for each hard-deprecated function. This
 would make it easier to keep all the communications around a particular
 function together, as some are still used in plugins or themes in the .org
 repositories.

 The scan results posted above are a good place to start, but they'd need
 to be more precise if possible. They include one plugin no longer
 available for download (presstest), and two false positives (fb-instant-
 articles and campuspress-theme-check).

 For these plugins, there should be a discussion on how long to give
 authors to update them, and what the cut off point would be for authors
 that do not respond. The spam-words plugin for example hasn't been updated
 in 13 years, and others are similarly outdated.
