>> Do you intend to change those other occurrences as well?
I do intend to do necessary changes related to this, in subsequent
commit(s), when I get a chance. I didn't want to create one large PR with too
many unrelated changes. I added this deprecation note just so that any new code
doesn't end up using this class, now that we are on Java 7. But I think, it's
better to add this deprecation note when I do get to changing references to
this class in some other commits. So I have undone this change and updated the
PR.
