trove-classifiers maintains a list of deprecated entries, see here:

pypa/trove-classifiers/blob/57bab905c6d601a907a56a082fc7564550faafb1/src/trove_classifiers/init.py#L871-L876


      
          # A mapping from the deprecated classifier name to a list of zero or more valid
          # classifiers that should replace it
          deprecated_classifiers: Dict[str, List[str]] = {
              "Natural Language :: Ukranian": ["Natural Language :: Ukrainian"],
              "Topic :: Communications :: Chat :: AOL Instant Messenger": [],
          }
