I am not familiar with the python-dev definition for deprecation, but

Possible to planned eventual removal

when I used the word in the bug discussion I meant to advertize to users that they should not mix threading and forking since that mix is and will remain broken by design; I did not mean removal or crippling of functionality.

This would be a note or warning in the doc. You can suggest what and where to add something on an existing issue or a new one.
