There is a value in backward compatibility. I am not in favor of deprecating this for removal. I can see a possible argument for simple deprecation (although since it isn't a Java level API, it isn't clear what that would mean or what the benefit would be), but that could be done later if there was a desire to pursue it. I do think we should continue to documenting it. ------------- PR Review Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1652#discussion_r1907936768
