Should we mark all v13.x as deprecated?

There is a deprecation plan for ending support for SQL Server 2016 during this year. AWS began disabling the creation of such instance in Jan (docs).

When I check in the CLI, I see only v14.x+ versions listed:

Thanks for review as always !

When I check in the CLI, I see only v14.x+ versions listed:

it's different from what i can confirm on my end... - there are v13.x versions:

However, I also checked the ap-northeast-1 region, no v13.x versions available there.

There is a deprecation plan for ending support for SQL Server 2016 during this year. AWS began disabling the creation of such instance in Jan (docs).

As you mentioned above, we probably shouldn’t include v13.x versions anymore.
Instead, we could mark the v13 series as @deprecated.
what do you think?

we could mark the v13 series as @deprecated

Agree. For clarity, I would add the deprecation docs shared above to the deprecation note of public static readonly VER_13 = SqlServerEngineVersion.of('13.00', '13.00'); only.

I added reference to doc.

@deprecated SQL Server 13.00 is no longer supported by Amazon RDS. See https://repost.aws/articles/ARGkeWligDSU-MQgBwUQj0nA

I think these should be marked for deprecation as well. Also, 13.00.6475.1.v1 should be kept for completeness even if deprecated. What do you think?
