Well, we've been pretty relieved to find out this didn't make it into GWT 2.0 :) On a serious note we still have plenty of "old" code that relies on that API and just like the GWT team we have to juggle between new features and code maintenance, and certainly this would have made our desired migration to 2.0 a much larger undertaking (and less reliably estimated).
Obviously we support removing deprecated APIs and we've been writing new code against the new API (and refactoring along the way), but since this didn't make it into 2.0 please keep in mind the impact on that change on existing deployments/products, I would hate for this change to be slipped in a minor 2.0 maintenance release.
