In such scenarios, please be aware of the following from the Porter's
Handbook:

"When it makes sense to do so, users can be warned about a pending port
removal with DEPRECATED and EXPIRATION_DATE. The former is simply a
string stating why the port is scheduled for removal; the latter is a
string in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD). Both will be shown to the user."

No.
