Is there a policy regarding when deprecated APIs are finally removed from subsequent distributions?
E.G. If I find a field marked as @deprecated as of 4.2, when would I expect it to get pulled, if at all? Or is the policy not to expect any further development (e.g. bug fixes) for deprecated API? Perhaps a bit of both? I looked around on the HttpComponents wiki and didn't come across anything covering this. Also I'm recalling minimum JVM versions for HttpComponents being discussed and polled. Was it 1.6 or 1.7 that was decided upon for subsequent releases (e.g. 4.4)? Maybe the poll was for Android only?
