Yes. In fact, all the classes under "o.a.c.m.optimization" are deprecated;
I intended to mark them as such, but somehow got distracted by other
things... ;-)
Thanks for the reminder.

It depends what is meant by "@since"... Is it the appearance of a new
feature (algorithm or data structure), or the actual naming or renaming
of a class or method? [There are arguments for each, but both cannot be
accomodated with a single tag.]

In the former case, the answer to your question would be no since it is a
only a refactoring of existing features.

In the latter, we'd have a problem: many "@since" tags are 1.2, 2.0, ...
whereas they should _all_ be 3.0 because of the package name change (from
"o.a.c.math" to "o.a.c.math3").
Since that had not been a blocker for a major release, I propose that we
postpone the resolution of this situation to the next release (opening a
JIRA report) or until we are sure how to best use "@since" must be used in
CM.
