I think I started using the term ‘deprecate’ in the sense of computer software. Looking at some definitions, I mean something along the lines of:

From http://www.thefreedictionary.com/deprecate:
3. Computer Science: To mark (a component of a software standard) as obsolete to warn against its use in the future so that it may be phased out.

From http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/deprecate
1. to express earnest disapproval of.
2. to urge reasons against; protest against (a scheme, purpose, etc.).

not

From http://www.thefreedictionary.com/deprecate:
1. To express disapproval of; deplore.
2. To belittle; depreciate.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/deprecate
3.to depreciate; belittle.
4.Archaic. to pray for deliverance from.

Although sometimes I do pray for deliverance from name changes :-).

If you have another term you like better, let me know.

Can we please find a softer word. “Deprecate” is stronger than “loath”. I don’t think the name Galerina autumnalis is bad enough to warrant the “deprecated” epithet.

Recent DNA studies show that this is just a synonym for Galerina marginata.
