We plan on doing deprecation in many cases
but we certainly dont do it for features that change in a Beta and
between Flex 1.5 and 2.0 weve changed so much that at some point we
decided deprecation wasnt really worth it. But Ill also say that
we saw this as a one-shot deal, this is the time we have to do it right and for
future releases we will have to go through a more formal deprecation process.

Subject: [flexcoders] Adobe Best
Practices: Deprecate/Remove Cycle?
Does Adobe normally mark stuff as 'deprecated' in at least a couple of GA
releases before they are removed?
I hope that's the case. If not then it would be nice to adopt such practice.

Doh, really? I've actually been using it a decent amount. It's
especially handy in testing the SHA1 hash of a million letter a's to verify
the! hash algorithm is correct:
var millionAs:StringBuilder = new StringBuilder( '' );
millionAs.ensureCapacity( 100 );
for ( var i:int = 0; i 100; i++ ) { millionAs.append( 'a' ); } assertSHA1( millionAs.toString(), 34aa973cd4c4daa4f61eeb2bdbad27316534016f );
I realize the above loop could be unrolled to make it perform even faster (by
appending more 'a's in each append call, and reducing the number of iterations
by 10x, 100x, etc). But StringBuilder in this ! case was a lot faster
than using a regular string.. though, I imagine this isn't really a typical
use-case.
That said, however, it would be a shame to see StringBuilder go -- especially
after having written a decent number of pages for it for an upcoming
book. Can I petition? :-)
