Fair enough, although the `AsyncRDDActions` class was marked as
`@Experimental` and the documentation for that annotation explicitly warns that
experimental APIs might change or be removed even in minor releases:
> ```scala
> /**
> * An experimental user-facing API.
> *
> * Experimental API's might change or be removed in minor versions of
Spark, or be adopted as
> * first-class Spark API's.
> *
> ```
On the other hand, the individual methods weren't marked as `@Experimental`
and we _did_ provide an implicit conversion, so it's possible that users might
have started relying on these APIs without realizing that they were
experimental.
