Sounds reasonable enough. It's what happened, isn't it? It's the reason why we're deprecating it and planning to remove it.

Suggestion:

     * @deprecated This constructor was added by accident. Do not use it.
     *             This constructor will be removed in a future release.


There are comments that say this method shouldn't have been public.

On the other hand, there are quite a few methods and classes in the list of terminally terminated elements which don't say anything at all.
