This "deprecation" was never visible at any level, there's no discovery path for anyone that found or otherwise used these and stuck with it.
But none of that matters: The most recent Debian 12 installer still unavoidably selects US/Pacific for people living there, today.

(Inspired by the BBC Tech report from @tdp_org)
Yesterday, Wikipedia received over 45 million requests made with curl, from 113 distinct curl releases.
Of these, 32 million use the default UA (e.g. curl CLI). The other 13 million embed libcurl with a longer UA string containing curl (e.g. GuzzleHttp/PHP, PycURL, UnityPlayer)
At 12 million, most are curl/7.88.1.
Raw data, queries, and scrub/cleaning parameters:

False modesty a tautology?
"""
Sally is a skilled musician but does not [know] she is exceptional. She may talk endlessly about her skills [which] may make others feel bad about their lesser ability. If she realized this, she can avoid [that] in the interest of modesty.[So,] we think a modest person thinks less of themself [but], McMullin argues, paradoxically, to be modest, you must [first] realize you surpass others, [to] then act [modest].

How does Wikimedia approach security and performance?
We're quite selective in our dependencies and often audit the sources ourselves. Progressive enhancement makes for a blazing fast and accessible site, and, I argue, it's also the cheaper choice in the long run!
