Are you looking at the internal Unsafe, rather than sun.misc.Unsafe? This PR is sun.misc.Unsafe only. Previous deprecation didn't re-order the methods. With VarHandles in 9, and FFM highly likely to become permanent in 22, then we'll probably see a lot more deprecation, degrading and removing of methods. It would be noisy to reshuffle at every step.
