Hello Sean,

I'm curious about the state/fate of JDK-8191136 [1]. This issue aims to
remove some long deprecated classes in java.security.

It seems this issue had several stalls and that it finally was targeted to
Java 19, but never executed.

I think it would be very nice to remove these confusing API classes now,
before we let them see another LTS.

If you already have a PR up your sleeve, that would be great, otherwise I
would be happy to take on this task, get the CSR reapproved etc.

What do you think?

Cheers.
Eirik.
