Yes, I am one of them, very much so.

At first it's a shock, but the show must go on, it could be an 
opportunity to address some long standing issues also.

If Permission implementations are unmaintained, we are better off 
without them too and re implementing our own.   It doesn't matter what 
they change to, I can generate my policy files.

AccessController, AccessControlContext and DomainController are bigger 
fish, which will take longer, personally I wouldn't remove these 
classes, but it's not my choice.
