Unlikely since java has always been about maintaining backward compability, but it can happen. I see deprecations as a warning that the API is either unreliable or somehow seriously flawed.
(Thread has several of these).
AFAIC not removed but never implemented
Thread.destroy(), as it was along with several other Thread methods inherently unsafe.
