Please review the changes for this RFE to mark the
java.security.Certificate API with forRemoval=true. The intention is to
remove this API in JDK 10.
The java.security.Certificate API has been deprecated since 1.2 and has
been superseded by java.security.cert.Certificate and related classes
since 1.2. It is no longer necessary to retain this class.
