 Node.js uses three Deprecation levels:
 
-* *Documentation-Only Deprecation* refers to elements of the Public API that are
-  being staged for deprecation in a future Node.js major release. An explicit
-  notice indicating the deprecated status is added to the API documentation
-  but no functional changes are implemented in the code. There will be no

-  `NODE_PENDING_DEPRECATION=1` environment variable is set.
