Sebb commented on CODEC-178:
----------------------------
No, that's not what I'm saying.
Assuming that we are targetting 1.6, it's wrong to deprecate the class.
Further, I don't see a need to deprecate the class once Codec targets 1.7, as
the constants can then be aliases for the real ones.
There is no need for existing users of the class to have to change the code.
However new code targetting Java 7 should use the Java 7 class instead.
I see no reason to force old code to be updated.
