What's the difference between "deprecated" and "obsoleted"?

Forgive my non-native understanding on English word:-D
Here is my understanding:
'Deprecate' is to express strong disapproval on the usage; but, can
still be used if user insists.
'Obsolete' means not usable anymore.

You can feel free to reword the note words.
Perhaps substitute 'removed' for 'obsolete' will be better.

No problem!  I'm not a native speaker either.  :-)

"Removed" would be clearer, yes.  It's probably better to not
mention the exact version, and just say it will be removed in
the future.

Or maybe just make the message shorter and set deprecation_note
to "Please use Icelake-Server instead".  The details can be
documented in docs/system/deprecated.rst.

Then I would tend to agree with your suggestion of no specific
'deprecation_note' at all; instead, a general warning message "will be
removed in the future" in machine_run_board_init().

Prefer documenting detail and model specific deprecation plan in
docs/system/deprecated.rst.

That would work too, but having "please use Icelake-Server
instead" would reduce user confusion.  It would also be
consistent with how MachineClass does it, and make it easier to
combine those two APIs together in the future.

It's not a hard requirement, though.  I'm OK if you want to keep
it as simple as possible.
