This seems right to me. As a casual user of core-libs I would be less likely to use File in new code, and take a second to look for the better replacement, if it were in fact solidly deprecated. Could someone file a bug/rfe to follow this up? Debate about the ultimate worthiness of File could then be attached to the bug. — John
