Answer by Federico Poloni for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 removal for Stack Exchange services

EDIT: now fixed

When you write "we will be deprecating TLS 1.0 and 1.1", do you mean that they will no longer work after next week?

It seems so from your next sentence, but this is confusing to me, because in my experience that is not what "deprecating" means in the programming world:

Software deprecation

While a deprecated software feature remains in the software, its use may raise warning messages recommending alternative practices; deprecated status may also indicate the feature will be removed in the future. Features are deprecated rather than immediately removed, to provide backward compatibility, and to give programmers time to bring affected code into compliance with the new standard.

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprecation, and, from https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/deprecate (emphasis mine):

  1. (transitive, chiefly computing) To declare something obsolescent; to recommend against a function, technique, command, etc. that still works but has been replaced.
