Makes sense, let's focus on the current release.

The leading sentence here seems redundant, since it mostly just repeats the
heading generated by javadoc:
**Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future
version**
_ZipError is deprecated and subject to removal in a future release. This Error
is obsolete and no longer thrown. Use ZipException instead._
What do you think of dropping that first sentence, such that the rendered
result would be:
**Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future
version**
_ZipError is obsolete and is no longer thrown. Use ZipException instead._
(One might argue that *is no longer thrown* hints at different behavior in past
releases, but I still think it helps to clarify that code running on the
current release need not worry about catching this error)
