Whether a class is public exported or not has no real relationship with whether it should have \
the `@Deprecated` annotation or not. It is better to add the `@Deprecated` annotation eagerly \
to all classes that are part of the feature being deprecated, if they are only used for the \
implementation of that feature, and if the thinking is that they would be removed if the \
feature is removed. Plus it usually simplifies things as it usually minimizes the places where \
you need to suppress warnings.
