This is different from the versionutils one (which is more of a developer<->operator deprecation interaction) and is more focused on the developer <-> developer deprecation interaction (developers say using oslo libraries).

There wasn't many/any similar libraries that I found (zope.deprecation is probably the closest) and twisted has something in-built to it that is something similar. So in order to avoid creating our own version of zope.deprecation in that review we might as well create a neat name that can be useful for oslo/openstack/elsewhere...
