I'd say an exceptional case would be if the API is fundamentally flawed, it=
=20
should be deprecated anyway, even with no replacement.

For example, I'd argue that std::auto_ptr should have been deprecated even =
if=20
std::unique_ptr hadn't come along.

But all other cases we have in discussion today about deprecation are also=
=20
discussing alternatives (for example, std::vector<bool>).
