Remove read_table deprecation

 - :meth:`Series.compress` is deprecated. Use ``Series[condition]`` instead (:issue:`18262`)
 - The signature of :meth:`Series.to_csv` has been uniformed to that of :meth:`DataFrame.to_csv`: the name of the first argument is now ``path_or_buf``, the order of subsequent arguments has changed, the ``header`` argument now defaults to ``True``. (:issue:`19715`)
 - :meth:`Categorical.from_codes` has deprecated providing float values for the ``codes`` argument. (:issue:`21767`)
-- :func:`pandas.read_table` is deprecated. Instead, use :func:`read_csv` passing ``sep='\t'`` if necessary (:issue:`21948`)
+- :func:`pandas.read_table` is deprecated. Instead, use :func:`read_csv` passing ``sep='\t'`` if necessary. This deprecation has been removed in 0.25.0. (:issue:`21948`)
 - :meth:`Series.str.cat` has deprecated using arbitrary list-likes *within* list-likes. A list-like container may still contain
   many ``Series``, ``Index`` or 1-dimensional ``np.ndarray``, or alternatively, only scalar values. (:issue:`21950`)
 - :meth:`FrozenNDArray.searchsorted` has deprecated the ``v`` parameter in favor of ``value`` (:issue:`14645`)

 - The :meth:`Series.ftype`, :meth:`Series.ftypes` and :meth:`DataFrame.ftypes` methods are deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
   Instead, use :meth:`Series.dtype` and :meth:`DataFrame.dtypes` (:issue:`26705`).
 - :meth:`Timedelta.resolution` is deprecated and replaced with :meth:`Timedelta.resolution_string`.  In a future version, :meth:`Timedelta.resolution` will be changed to behave like the standard library :attr:`timedelta.resolution` (:issue:`21344`)
