Where does "the project" talk about deprecating IDs at all? Not in the theory file.
There is a frequently expressed view that lots of IDs in tzdb only exist for backwards compatibility.
Many things in computing exist for backwards compatibility but are not deprecated. Deprecated implies they will go away at some point. So far as I can tell, no such implication has ever been stated for, for example, link entries in backwards. -- Russ Allbery (eagle@eyrie.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
