IMO the deprecated information shouldn't be removed from doxygen. You 
can do some interesting things with doxygen (other than generating HTML 
docs) provided it has all necessary information. Perhaps there is some 
other way to promote this text into the summary. On the other hand 
people that have to deal with the data structure need to look at the 
details anyway so it might not be a big deal if it's not in the summary.

Best regards.
