      Server parameters are rarely removed, since doing so can break downstream users of them. Typically, these parameters are instead deprecated and made noops rather than removed outright to avoid these issues. We should support marking server parameters as deprecated at the IDL level to make this behavior more uniform (e.g. logging whenever a user attempts to set one of these) and to avoid generating dead code, similar to ignore: true command parameters.
