The webrev for deprecating finalize has been updated:
  - to improve the advice existing JDK subclasses overriding finalize 
provides in @deprecated javadoc,
  - to expand Object.finalize() javadoc to reinforce the correct use of 
super.finalize() by subclasses,
  - and to remove redundant @SuppressWarnings annotations.

Please review and comment.

Thanks, Roger
