As suggested in #55740 (review).

IMO there's value in keeping the deprecated stability status for APIs that are stable. Users are already discouraged from using experimental APIs in production (because of the lack of stability), so applying a deprecated status on top of experimental only muddies the water, and I don't think it would be a stretch to imagine users starting to expect experimental APIs to follow semver until it's deprecated.
I'm not against emitting warnings when an experimental API is being modified and/or removed, I'm saying we should refrain from using the word deprecated in those cases.
