Hi Roger, yes I understand and like you (after many years of Applets) I don't like so much to remove them, but in modern browsers they are mostly no more enabled/supported ... and have them in Tutorials/Demos (and in dependencies) and not able to run them is not so good in terms of User Experience, sorry.
Anyway I can create a JIRA issue for this and post some update there. Feedback from others ?
