SynthLookAndFeel.load(URL) is problematic because applications need to trust the URL. As documented in the bug report there are alternative mechanisms and JDK itself has not used this for the two Synth based L&Fs : Nimbus and GTK. So deprecating - for removal - and adding warnings now in the docs is appropriate.
