Hi, We cannot make incompatible changes to public classes outside of major releases. The evolving annotation was left by mistake given that these classes have been there for a long time by now.
The general way to handle this is to have a new non deprecated method, deprecate the old one. And then remove the deprecated one in 5.0.
