That future version might get published in 2270, when everybody has switched to C++, and compatibility with C is no longer required.

Just for the clarification of those of us who are not C/C++ programmers, are you saying that this is different from the meaning in Python, where "deprecated" means that something IS going away?

To repeat the literal words from the standard:

Annex D [depr]:

1 This clause describes features of the C++ Standard that are specified for compatibility with existing implementations. 2 These are deprecated features, where deprecated is defined as: Normative for the current edition of the Standard, but not guaranteed to be part of the Standard in future revisions.
