I would not release it new marked deprecated.  One option would be
to move it to the package where it is used for now and give it
package scope (so not part of public API).  I would be OK just
releasing as is, personally.  I will take a closer look tonight; but
the API looks OK to me, so I don't see big risk releasing it.

I suspect replication from p.a.o still works, as we did open the
requested JIRA and we are waiting on infra.  We can ask for help
getting the site replicated if it is still not working when the
release is ready for the mirrors.  We should vote on full artifacts.
