From Merriam-Webster's online dictionary:
"obsolete: no longer in use or no longer useful."
Yes, if something is obsolete it is to be dropped. You are confusing
obsolete with obsolescent:
"obsolescent: going out of use : becoming obsolete"
If it's obsolescent, deprecate it. If it's obsolete, get rid of it.
