Source quench are only deprecated from routers. End systems should
continue to send them. Read the latest router and host requirements.

The latest host requirements I know of is RFC 1122, and there sending
source quenches by hosts is a MAY, not a SHOULD.  I don't know of any
hosts that actually send them - do you?
