Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8144784
The @Deprecated annotation on a package is a no-op in terms of affecting
the set of deprecation warnings the compiler produces. This has been
clarified in the JLS and specification for java.lang.Deprecated in 9.
Thus, we should remove the @Deprecated annotations from the packages
since they are not providing any value.
No webrev, since the diffs are trivial:
diff --git
