### Stanza: `deprecate!` / `disable!`
`deprecate!` and `disable!` are used to declare that a cask is no longer functional or supported.
Casks that contain a `deprecate!` stanza can still be installed, but will print a warning message when they are installed or upgraded.
Casks that contain a `disable!` stanza cannot be installed or upgraded and will print an error message.
The syntax for both stanzas is the same:
```ruby
deprecate! date: "YYYY-MM-DD", because: "is ..."
disable! date: "YYYY-MM-DD", because: "is ..."
# Or with a preset reason and suggested replacement (see the parameter sections below)
deprecate! date: "YYYY-MM-DD", because: :discontinued, replacement_formula: "another"
disable! date: "YYYY-MM-DD", because: :unmaintained, replacement_cask: "alternative"
```
#### `date:` parameter
The `date:` parameter controls when the deprecation or disabling will take effect.
Casks that have a `deprecate!` stanza with a date in the future will not be treated as being deprecated until that date.
Casks that have a `disable!` stanza with a date in the future will be automatically deprecated until that date, at which point they will become disabled.
#### `because:` parameter
The `because:` parameter accepts a reason for the cask being deprecated or disabled.
The info message will be `<cask> is deprecated because it <reason>!`, so format the reason to fit that sentence.
For example, `because: "is broken"` will result in `<cask> is deprecated because it is broken!`.
The `because:` parameter can also accept a symbol that corresponds to a preset reason, for example:
```ruby
deprecate! date: "YYYY-MM-DD", because: :discontinued
```
A complete list of allowable symbols can be found in the [`DeprecateDisable` module](https://rubydoc.brew.sh/DeprecateDisable) documentation.
#### `replacement_formula:` / `replacement_cask:` parameter
The `replacement_formula:` and `replacement_cask:` parameters accept a string for suggesting a replacement formula or cask to the user.
Refer to [Deprecating, Disabling and Removing Casks](Deprecating-Disabling-and-Removing-Casks.md) for more information about the deprecation process for casks.

#### `uninstall pkgutil:` is the easiest and most useful
The easiest and most useful `uninstall` directive is [`pkgutil:`](#uninstall-pkgutil). It should cover most use cases.
#### `uninstall` is required for casks that install using `pkg` or `installer`
For most casks, uninstall actions are determined automatically, and an explicit `uninstall` stanza is not needed. However, a cask which uses the [`pkg`](#stanza-pkg) or [`installer`](#stanza-installer) stanzas will **not** know how to uninstall correctly unless an `uninstall` stanza is given.
