+2  Q: 

What do you call a method or library which is old and shouldn't be used anymore?

There has to be a name for this. I'm thinking degraded or unused (old isn't descriptive enough). Has anyone come up with something descriptive to call this?

+10  A: 

Deprecated (in java) or Obsolete (in c#)

Note: it's not 'depreciated' as some people like to call it. Depreciated relates to the loss of value of an asset over time.
