Deprecation of LogRecord.getMillis in JDK9

[Jason Mehrens]

Sure.  I'm just trying to pick a path forward so that in X years when someone does code review (like my future self) can avoid, "What was this guy thinking calling such a SUPERSEDED, DANGEROUS, and CONDEMNED method?" when confronted with using getMillis.  I would assume JEP 277 would mark getMillis as SUPERSEDED only but, it still seems questionable that I would suppress the warning.  Which leads me toward removing the deprecation.

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason,

To complete my earlier reply:

Well - a lib using LogRecord.getMillis() could
use @SuppressWarnings("deprecation') when calling
LogRecord.getMillis() - but was that your question?
