[Nix-dev] What about introducing deprecated or such an attr name?

[Marc Weber]

Eg there are some expressions which should be preferred over others.
Examples:

tetex is discontinued, but you have to ask wikipedia to get to know
that... 

cdrecord didn't build, so why did nobody complain? Maybe everyone is
using cdrdao now? Why not  add this as well?

So what about adding something like

meta = {
  depreceated = "use texLive instead, tetex is discontinued";
};
?

Do you like this idea? Or is there already an alternative?
