The RFC author could just say that yes votes for deprecation and
eventual removal will be added together, with the timescale being a
preference vote.

I think the only people who would object to that are people who would
vote yes to "deprecate and remove" but only if it matches their
preferred timescale, and would otherwise vote no. Which probably isn't
a thing.
