Yes, deprecate it.  I think the few useful methods that John pointed to could be migrated to one of the other interfaces.  Everything else primarily uses the DistributionManager for membership and messaging.

It looks like there are a few JIRA tasks open to deprecate methods on
DistributedSystem, and it doesn't really have much functionality that would
be useful to a user. I propose that we deprecate DistributedSystem itself,
and keep the system management functionality internal. Is there any reason
why we shouldn't do this?

Thanks,
Galen
