> Deprecated means: You should not use it. Personally, I think of "deprecated" as "you need to think about moving away from this at some point". Hopefully, the deprecation message gives more details about _when_ that needs to happen. But I generally do not immediately try to move away from all deprecated calls unless the deprecation warning strongly advises me to do so (e.g. the call is unsafe, or something like that).
Of course, I agree that we should generally not **remove** any deprecated methods before the functionality is available elsewhere. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/pull/237#issuecomment-39656201
