Re: [community-group] $deprecated property? (#118)

> Re: encoding something like Experimental → Active → Deprecated → Sunset → Deleted in the spec: this is brittle because different teams have (sometimes very) different ideas of what the right life cycle states should be. If we go this way, the states will need to be configurable and not fixed.

I agree.
But this this is only problematic if you can only have one `state` at a time.
If you `state` is just a grouping of properties and `deprecated` is part of that I think it can work for everyone.

Standardising around a set states will be required as this in turn makes it possible for tools to hook into these.

Some of these also don't make much sense imo.

- `Active` is no state
- `Sunset` is just `Deprecated` but louder?
- `Deleted` isn't needed. Just delete the token. If you want a "trash folder" you can create a separate tokens file for this purpose.
