Yeah "Deprecated" isn't really conveying that this was never used or
implemented anywehere ever. I think we should put that into the docs
to make this clear, otherwise someone is going to wonder whether maybe
they still need to parse it since it's only deprecated and there's no
other plane gamma (yet). I wouldn't even put any further docs than
that in it, because stating that it's the number of entries for
something we never implemented is going to be confusing at best :-)
