Not formally in the standard. In fact the concept of deprecation was
dropped from the f90 draft before it ever got formally into the
standard. Plenty of individuals (myself included) personally consider
equivalence to be deprecated, but that needs to be qualified as a
position of the individuals in question instead of just is "is being
deprecated".

but would it be of help here to equivalence
character*7 x(10)
to something like
integer*1 x(7)(10)
I haven't had to worry about the order of those kinds of dimensions in
quite some time, so sorry if I got those wrong. Also, I'm not sure that
integer*1 is legal or even possible.

Well now we don't need to get into deprecation to see "issues" with
that. Equivalencing character with non-character data has never been
standard in the first place (which is quite a bit more severe then being
deprecated). Nor has the integer*1 syntax. Even among compilers that
accepted the nonstandard integer* syntax, some did not allow *1.
