Not really.

According to "dict deprecate", the roots of deprecate (de- +
precari) mean "to avert by prayer".  The WordNet definition is
"express strong disapproval of; deplore".

In computer terminology, deprecated features are those which *still
exist* but that the "vendor" do not want you to use anymore.
