Hi!

If those methods are already deprecated, then I'd say we should drop them now. 

Most times those methods didn't got deprecated because they are 'unpretty' but 
because they are seriously flawed. Like missing encoding parameter, missing 
timezone, not multithreading capable, etc.

So if those methods are deprecated for more than a year now (or < maven-2.2.1 
and maven-3.0), then I'd say lets drop them now.

LieGrue,
