Well, we are trying to "deprecate" use of the @Deprecated annotation on 
packages, so I would prefer not to leave this in (also, I heard there 
will eventually be a javac warning for this). Instead I will add a 
sentence or comment that says new classes should not be added to the 
package. Is that ok?
