All too "merely". What, in such circumstances, would a naive reader
of the registry conclude was the un-deprecated value, and by what process?

So then BU would be deprecated with a P-V of MM, and MM would be
deprecated without a P-V, leading the user to conclude that there is no
current value at all.
