media-type-no-deprecated

Disallow deprecated media types.

    @media tv {}
/**        ↑
 * Deprecated media type */

Several CSS media types defined in earlier specifications have been deprecated and should no longer be used. According to the CSS media queries specification, the following media types are recognized as valid but match nothing:

  • aural
  • braille
  • embossed
  • handheld
  • projection
  • speech
  • tty
  • tv

Currently, the recommended media types are:

  • all
  • screen
  • print

The deprecated media types were removed because they were either never widely implemented or their use cases are now better handled by media features rather than broad device categories.
