Should we start removing old @[deprecated]
attributes along with their corresponding declaration? Eg there is currently 163 declarations that were deprecated in 2023 and 4 in 2022.

Tentatively pinging @Damiano Testa to see whether he has written a tool to automatically remove them

I have not, but that should be fairly easy.

Let me cross-link mathlib4>Deprecation policy: it's on my list to wrap up that thread.
One of the loose ends in there was agreeing on a time-frame for "delete this". Older than a year seemed extremely safe to delete.
