In Routine§

See primary documentation in context for trait is DEPRECATED 

multi trait_mod:<is>(Routine:D $r, :$DEPRECATED!)

Marks a Routine as deprecated; that is, it should no longer be used going forward, and will eventually be removed. An optional message specifying the replacement functionality can be specified

By having both the original (deprecated) and new Routine available simultaneously, you can avoid a breaking change in a single release, by allowing users time and instructions on how to update their code. Remove the deprecated version only after at least one release that includes both the warning and the new Routine.
