The sentence explaining the deprecation schedule is ambiguous. Make
it
clear that a feature deprecated in the Nth release is guaranteed to
remain available in the N+1th release. Removal can occur in the N+2nd
release or later.
As an example of this in action, see commit
25956af3fe5dd0385ad8017bc768a6afe41e2a74 ("block: Finish deprecation of
'qemu-img convert -n -o'"). The feature was deprecated in QEMU 4.2.0. It
was present in the 5.0.0 release and removed in the 5.1.0 release.
