When jdk 1.1 was released few developers used java. but now it's the most used programming language|vm. undeprecated changes can have a mayor impact.
removing a method out of some class isn't the same as adding a new keyword. (Why not System.assert() ) I can live with changes like assert, (althru i haven't called any method assert) but is likely that many ejb's won't work any more due to serialisation between 2 versions of java. one must not be backward compatible forever. but changes should take place at once and as early as possible. If the next version windows isn't compatible with the current one, then windows is history.
