 ### Deprecations
 
-Node.js uses three [Deprecation][] levels:
-
-* *Documentation-Only Deprecation*: A deprecation notice is added to the API
-  documentation but no functional changes are implemented in the code. By
-  default, there will be no warnings emitted for such deprecations at
-  runtime. Documentation-only deprecations may trigger a runtime warning when
-  Node.js is started with the [`--pending-deprecation`][] flag or the
-  `NODE_PENDING_DEPRECATION=1` environment variable is set.
-
-* *Runtime Deprecation*: A warning is emitted at runtime the first time that a
-  deprecated API is used. The [`--throw-deprecation`][] flag can be used to
-  escalate such warnings into runtime errors that will cause the Node.js process
-  to exit. As with Documentation-Only Deprecation, the documentation for the API
-  must be updated to clearly indicate the deprecated status.
-
-* *End-of-life*: The API is no longer subject to the semantic versioning rules.
-  Backward-incompatible changes including complete removal of such APIs may
-  occur at any time.

 Documentation-Only Deprecations may be handled as semver-minor or semver-major
 changes. Such deprecations have no impact on the successful operation of running
