Change current message to 'avoid' using to 'Header with service name' variant to deprecation, and that it will be removed in future release.

Looks like we just need to update the trifecta of GOV.UK header, service navigation and navigate a service pattern.

I've drafted needed changes in Google Doc.

It looks pretty basic and clear, I'm slightly mindful this will be a big change that service teams need to be aware of but can see if anything stronger is needed in this edits once we start writing comms.

Re: adding messages in GOV.UK Frontend code

@domoscargin reckons that there are not any obvious places to edit on Frontend Docs, and no code changes until the things are actually removed in the next breaking release, so nothing more to do on those.
