It means that something is better then it. such as:

table.len({})
is depracated since
#{}
exists, so table.len() is un-needed

Deprecation, as defined by Wikipedia:

Deprecation is a status applied to a computer software feature, characteristic, or practice indicating it should be avoided, typically because of it being superseded. The term is also sometimes used for a feature, design, or practice that is permitted but no longer recommended in other areas, such as hardware design or compliance to building codes.

In other words, deprecated methods are methods that either don't work properly anymore, or there are other methods that do a better job than it/replace it.

Deprecated methods usually still 'work' in the sense that you won't get errors, but it is recommended to not use them.

Motor6D's are weird because they are deprecated, yet the Character object still uses them...you'd have to message the administrators to figure out their reasoning on that.
