Description
Is this exclusive to just skript methods or would be it also be something good for skript syntax aswell?
An example case for this would be if there was ever a PR for raytrace syntax, for the most part that is just a better target block
and target entity
as it acts more like an exact target entity. In that case I'd view it as a means for a deprecation/removal of the target syntaxes *could also just be time for an update to raytrace

Suggestion
As I stated above, I believe there should also be a new annotation in skript just like the @MarkedForRemoval
but this time aimed for general skript syntax such as @Deprecation
Why
In the example above I mentioned we could theoretically remove the target block
and target entity
expressions if we were to ever add support for raytracing in skript. That's due to the fact raytracing is a just much exact hit compared to target
attempting to get "around" it as it treats all blocks as full blocks
Adding this does another thing which is prevent removal of largely used syntax feeling like it randomly happened we'd be able to now mark stuff as Deprecated
early on after introducing something to replace it and wait a few(1-2) major versions then remove it.
