Yes, I think we should deprecate them. The other thing suggested in the
JEP is that we would also look usages in the JDK, also other
implementations (as there are many) to see if they can be retired. This
can of course be done later. It also an opportunity for contributions,
say for example someone might like to look at java.util.prefs to retire
the implementation there. Another one that might be able to retire is
the implementation in the com.sun.net.httpserver.BasicAuthenticator
class and there are others.
