It would, but because the return type of the ActionForm's validate method is an ActionErrors - then that method can't be simply deprecated and a new version added. Changing the return type would create a big compatiblity issue for alot of users and having one of the *core* API methods using a deprecated object isn't on. Hence the decission to not deprecate it.
