[8u40]: Review request for RT-39489: Latest 10.10.2 beta update causes NSTouch exceptions continually

[Kevin Rushforth]

My question, which I asked in the JIRA, is whether this is Apple's bug 
that we can expect them to fix, or whether they really did mean to nuke 
a deprecated interface in an update release. Even with Apple's at-times 
cavalier attitude regarding backward compatibility, it seems unlikely 
that they would intentionally do this in a dot-dot release.
