I have to admit that I'm not sold on the idea of deprecating classes for 
the following reasons:

1. I see no justification for why it's being proposed.

2. Most of the deprecations I see could be handled via inheritance
and semantics changes.  This would allow the items wanted without
changing the parent objects.
