> This change terminally deprecates the following methods defined by 
> java.lang.ThreadGroup 
> 
> - stop 
> - destroy 
> - isDestroyed 
> - setDaemon 
> - isDaemon 
> 
> The stop method has been deprecated since=1.2 because it is inherently 
> unsafe. It is time to terminally deprecate this method so it can be removed 
> in a future release. Thread.stop will be examined in a separate issue. 
> 
> The destroy, isDestroyed, setDaemon, isDaemon methods support the mechanism 
> to explicitly or automatically destroy a thread group. As detailed in 
> JDK-8252885, the mechanism to destroy thread groups is flawed and racy. 
> Furthermore, this mechanism inhibits efforts to drop the reference from a 
> thread group to its threads (so that thread creation, starting and 
> termination do not need to coordinate with their thread group). These methods 
> should be terminally deprecated so they can be degraded in a future release 
> and eventually removed.
