Longevity has a cost. It ends up with outdated support and APIs. Software lives and has to evolve. That&#x27;s why now all software has CI and code coverage test to allow agile development, which was not really the case at the time of applets. IMO, it is a good thing to deprecate things (even to remove them) it forces programmers to be more agile. Some corporate should try to start thinking this way.
