Hi @mgronlun - sorry for opening a design discussion in PR :(

I wonder - will this report each single one invocation of a deprecated method conforming to the rules (JDK method called from non-JDK code)? Can this, potentially, flood the recording if the deprecated method gets called from a hot loop?
