I believe that nsIEnumerator is our first frozen, depricated interface :-)
nsIEnumerator is considered frozen because nsIComponentManager exposes
it. I believe that nsIComponentManager has been considered frozen (for
the past year+) because of its usage by plugins.
Part of our interface freezing efforts is to remove ALL references to
nsIEnumerator from non-frozen interfaces before we freeze them . Please
refer to bug #99136.
Unfortunately, if frozen interfaces refer to nsIEnumerator, then we
cannot "unfreeze" them to remove these references... So, nsIEnumerator
becomes a frozen (but depricated) interface.
