Mark all features from DNT spec deprecated #10469

Merged

Commits on May 15, 2021

  1. Mark all features from DNT spec deprecated

    The https://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ spec never made it to W3C
    Recommendation; instead it was retired as a W3C Working Group Note:
    
    https://www.w3.org/TR/2019/NOTE-tracking-dnt-20190117/
    
    In the W3C spec database its formal status is Retired:
    
    https://www.w3.org/TR/?tag=privacy&status=ret
    
    And the Status section of https://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ itself says:
    
    > Since its last publication as a Candidate Recommendation, there has
    > not been sufficient deployment of these extensions (as defined) to
    > justify further advancement, nor have there been indications of planned
    > support among user agents, third parties, and the ecosystem at large.
    
    All of that is sufficient to merit the features being marked as
    deprecated in BCD.
    
    The affected features are:
    
    * the DNT HTTP request header
    * the Tk HTTP response header
    * the navigator.doNotTrack property
