Output of brew doctor

Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry or file an issue; just ignore this. Thanks!

Warning: Some installed formulae are deprecated or disabled.
You should find replacements for the following formulae:
  icu4c@76

Description of issue

My Homebrew installation thinks that markdownlint-cli & prettier use icu4c@76 because they use node.

The current version of node, however, uses icu4c@77. Presumably, node used icu4c@76 when markdownlint-cli & prettier were most recently installed/upgraded.

Is there any way to update the transitive dependency metadata for formulae (like markdownlint-cli & prettier) either on demand or when any of their dependencies are updated?

Can I remove all vestigial dependencies (like icu4c@76) on demand or at the same time as cleaning up formula transitive dependency metadata?

$ brew uses --installed icu4c@76 | cat
markdownlint-cli
prettier

$ brew deps --tree markdownlint-cli prettier node
markdownlint-cli
