I've been quite loud about it in the past, but static metadata definitions should really not lead to runtime side-effects, especially if not pure (error handling system tripped here). I'd be totally for a built-in `#[Deprecated]` attribute if it did **NOT** have a runtime behavior, which is an absolute no-go from my PoV. This stuff is easily introspectible via tools like phpstan, psalm, phan, and does not need to lead to more problematic runtime issues.
