Closing with clarification of the existing lifecycle policy: deleted entries are already excluded from remote-URL conflicts; deprecated entries deliberately retain their URL reservation because they remain published, discoverable versions. A URL is released by deleting the versions that reserve it, not by deprecating them. The maintainer analysis in #1204 confirms the deleted-record behavior already exists, and that PR retains regression tests for deleted reuse, deprecated rejection and restore conflicts. Specific blocked migrations should remain tracked in their individual administrative requests.
