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?
