I can't speak for Adobe, but as a *general* rule (ignoring the JDK),
deprecated means "it's not going away in a point-release, but it's going
away" So you souldn't count on it in 4, but you're probably fine for updates
of 3. But either way, there's nothing forcing you to upgrade your app to a
new SDK version anyway.
Again, I don't speak for Adobe :)
Also, if you need the deprecated API to get around a valid bug in the SDK,
make sure to make a note of it in Jira so the Adobe guys can keep it in
mind.
