All of the code in the bcel6 package is going to be released for the first time in the upcoming 6.0 release. No one can have written code against these deprecated classes. What am I missing. That these classes existed in version 5.x in a different package? So what, a new version is the opportunity to drop old code. Other wise we are adding new code, deprecating it right away, without an opportunity to remove it until the _next_ major release, 7.0.
