"phase out with 3 steps",
"deprecate".
"get rid of",
"eliminate",
"gradually deprecating"

all mean that the plan is to eliminate the tag.

They subtly differ in how this elimination would
exactly work, but all describe process of
removing tag from use.

Number of steps, length of process is not changing that.

It is perfectly fine to deprecate/eliminate tags that are
harmful, I started or helped this process with numerous ones.

But trying to eliminate tag and avoiding calling it
deprecation/elimination is silly.

I would also advocate to focus on parts of tagging that
are without known long-standing gridlock. 

Like contact:phone vs phone.
