The deprecations is a way of saying "you are in your own for now on". For sure it's not a substitution for any security feature, but the problem is always the programmer, us or the JDK developers :)

Hi,
actually imho the problem is not whether the vulnerable function is deprecated when the system has crashed. The problem is whether Sun employs some people who can implement missing null pointer checks in the JDK. Deprecation is no security feature at all, good and aware coding in contrast is.
