Reporting superceded or deprecated theme components

General

I’m not sure if this would qualify as a Bug or a UX issue.

Essentially there should be some way to notify the Admin on the UI when a component being used is superceded by another component or if it has been deprecated.

For example I had both these components installed

and

I was trying to figure some conflicts and then I eventually realized that the second one had super ceded the first one but it wasn’t immediately apparent, until I tried to reach the source and then I noticed the message.

It would be nice if the Admin UX page indicated which theme components are super ceded or deprecated to avoid these issues.

Those components are unofficial, so doing this may not be as easy. A workaround I can think of is to replace the code in the old one and put some banner shown to admins to use the new one. But that will be up to the creator.
