Hi,
You should deprecate classes in 3.x that will go away in 4.0. Same applies to methods and other code. Deprecation means that this code will no longer work in 4.0 if it keeps unchanged (which is not completely true anymore in 4.0, as we also have completely backwards incompatible changes to lower level APIs in Lucene).

"I have some few changes on 3x to submit yet, but I was wondering: is it necessary to deprecate a class in 3x if it's ONLY going to be removed in 4.0? Not sure if I understand how these things work yet."

Will you submit the patch for upgrading trunk, too (after the 3.x changes)? Once this is finished, we will commit changes.txt entries and close the issue.
