I also would like to do some work in that area.

That is also true for me.

In my opinion, we should also look at a implementers side, especially on 
parts that have to be
implemented  outside the JDK. What about interfaces or abstract methods 
that are marked as
deperecated? A implementer should not be forced to implement such a 
method in order to have
the chance to clean up it's code. In that case we would need to provide 
a default method on a
interface or not allow to mark a abstract method as deprecated for the 
time until this method
may would go away completely.
