RFC 3454 never considered that profiles would be marked as deprecated:

    IANA has set up a registry of stringprep profiles.  This registry is
    a single text file that lists the known profiles.  Each entry in the
    registry has three fields:

    - Profile name

    - RFC in which the profile is defined

    - Indicator whether or not this is the newest version of the profile

    Each version of a profile will remain listed in the registry forever.
    That is, if a new version of a profile supersedes an earlier version,
    both versions will continue to be listed in the registry, but the
    current version indicator will be turned off for the earlier version
    and turned on for the newer version.

Thus we might want to consult with IANA, the authors of RFC 3454, and 
the relevant Area Directors about how they would like to proceed.
