------------------------------------
Thanks Steve for the thoughts!
bq. Sounds like tagging as deprecated is the strategy for now
OK, I'll just do it for now here, and do not clean up the large block of
obsolete codes in RPC#waitForProxy even nothing needs to wait in fact.
> Deprecate and remove WriteableRPCEngine

> The {{WriteableRPCEninge}} depends on Java's serialization mechanisms for RPC
> requests. Without proper checks, it has be shown that it can lead to security
> vulnerabilities such as remote code execution (e.g., COLLECTIONS-580,
> HADOOP-12577).
> The current implementation has migrated from {{WriteableRPCEngine}} to
> {{ProtobufRPCEngine}} now. This jira proposes to deprecate
> {{WriteableRPCEngine}} in branch-2 and to remove it in trunk.
