Description

Describe the enhancement or change
What it means for a component to be deprecated is currently unclear to our consumers.

Our contribution guidelines should explain what a component being deprecated entails, including how long it will still be available and how it impacts what work will be done on it going forward.


Jira Issue: PF-123

Research direction

Start by locating the repository's contribution guide and review its existing component-lifecycle guidance. Update the guide to define what deprecated means, state how long deprecated components remain available, and explain how deprecation affects future work; done means these points are clear to consumers and the documentation review passes.
