-1 With the late inclusion of HBASE-796, there are a number of examples in 
javadoc that still reference Text, and I found (without an exhaustive search) 
classes that still have un-deprecated methods that accept text: e.g., 
HColumnDescriptor, HMsg, HBaseAdmin, BatchUpdate. There may be more.

My opinion: either back out 796 for 0.2.0 (because 0.3.0 will only address a 
handful of bugs before hadoop-0.19 is out there) and include 796 in 0.3.0, 
removing the deprecated methods in 0.4.0 (tied to hadoop-0.19) or going through 
0.2.0 with a fine tooth comb and changing examples that use Text and finishing 
the deprecating of methods.
