We also to add @since 11 to the new methods and I'm wondering about 
adding an @apiNote to Path's class description to indicate that it's 
obsolete and that the static methods defined by Path should be used in 
preference. I don't think Paths needs to be deprecated of course, I'm 
just thinking of developers wondering what the Paths class is for.
