if you can't be bothered to update an application when something is deprecated over the 4-5 years it takes to create and release 2 new versions of the JDK after the one that deprecated the functionality (2 versions is IMO a good benchmark, it's what most manufacturers use for support timeframes of APIs) you can't complain about it not running anymore...

And if your users refuse to upgrade their applications and supporting environments for that long a period of time they can no longer blame you for not envisioning future changes in the platform.
