Removed.  We've established the pattern of removing deprecated methods
after every beta cycle.  That lets you do a relatively easy upgrade
between betas, but during that beta you want to wean yourself off the
deprecated methods.

No Java API has ever shipped a 1.0 with deprecated methods.  We won't
either.
