+1 to the idea of removing the deprecation -0 on the PR Without the deprecation, how will a developer know that they need to configure the whitelist? While the deprecation wasn't perfect, at least it gave the developer the sense that they were doing something which should be avoided. It is unfortunate that deprecation in Java is such a binary concept, but it is what it is.
I think we have two choices: 1. Go back to the way things were before -- no deprecation, no whitelist 2. Keep the deprecation and whitelist and improve the JavaDoc No deprecation and keeping the whitelist just seems like a recipe for confusion.
