Makes sense to me.

That's crucial in my view: we've got to have automated enforcement that
this kind of metadata is being kept accurate and acted upon, otherwise
it will rapidly become an out of date embarassement.
A bit of Googling doesn't come up with any obvious tools for inspecting
the deprecated tag in JavaDoc, however if we did something like this:-
* Use the @Deprecated annotation in addition to the JavaDoc tag (which
is useful for some IDEs anyway)
* Invent our own @Removal annodation to contain the date/POI version of
expected removal
Then it would be easy to write a functional test which used reflection
to check all @Deprecated annotated elements had an @Removal too, and to
tell us when things come up as due to be removed.
