According to [“Addressing unimplemented evolution proposals”](https://forums.swift.org/t/addressing-unimplemented-evolution-proposals/40322):

I think this means that the type aliases are not deprecated, and that there is an error in the documentation. If we wanted to deprecate them, we’d have to make a new proposal.

@ben-cohen is this correct?

(Interestingly, that post does mention SE-0163, albeit a different part of the proposal.)
