Nit: I think "compile" was useful here.

Fix awkward verb tense.
Make deprecation text slightly more concise and direct.
Fix a typographical error in deprecation text. Convert run-on sentence
to two sentences (one in parentheses).
Make deprecation text more concise and direct.
Change `backwards compatibility` to `backward compatibility`.

(It's confusing because "backwards compatible" is acceptable because
"backwards" can be used as an adverb like that. However, as an
adjective, as in "backward compatibility", only "backward" will do.
Easiest solution: Always use "backward" because it is OK in both cases.
This is all compounded by the US vs UK English thing. US English tends
to favor "backward", and we standardize on US English, so that's another
point in favor of "backward" over "backwards" in this context.)
Use "Node.js 6.0.0" instead of "Node.js v6.0.0". (We decided to drop "v"
before version numbers to avoid confusion with the V8 JavaScript
engine.)
* v10.0.0 -> Node.js 10.0.0
* Parenthetical with URL rather than "PR" as a lot of people may not
  know what "PR" stands for but they will know what a URL is. Plus not
  hiding the URL means the text is more copy/paste-able. In this
  particular case, "PR 12562" is not more useful or informative than
  nodejs#12562 so just use the URL.
* "un-deprecation" ಠ_ಠ -> "revoking deprecations"
* "From time-to-time" -> "Occastionally"
* "semver-major" and "semver-minor" are jargon that readers who don't
  follow our issue tracker will not know. Remove the sentence as it
  doesn't really impact end users. The deprecation is revoked when it is
  revoked. Rules around the releases where deprecations can be revoked
  may be added to the COLLABORATOR_GUIDE in the extensive section about
  deprecations there. If so, great, but let's still remove it here as
  having the information scattered in two places makes it likely that one
  will be edited to contradict the other and then it won't be clear which
  one is correct.
* Remove unneeded italics. The italicized sentence is not hugely
  critical information that we desperately want users to know. Most
  users won't care. They will only care about the deprecation message
  that they are looking up at that moment.
