It seems like that developers using Java are very afraid of removing anything. If I recall correctly the SWT library contains several classes/interfaces with a 2 appended to the end of the name just because they don't want to remove the old class/interface.
Adding methods to an existing interface creates immediate backward incompatibility, no wait for the interface to be removed. It's like changing the parameter list of a function.
