[PATCH 2/2] RelNotes/2.24.0: fix self-contradictory note

From
Elijah Newren via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

Message-ID
<0f3aa67e4aafbb7befd37d83a8c0d53a0a186259.1572466878.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To

From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>

As per Wikipedia, "In current technical usage, for one to state that a feature is deprecated is merely a recommendation against using it." It is thus contradictory to claim that something is not "officially deprecated" and then to immediately state that we are both discouraging its use and pointing people elsewhere.
