Oracle had no qualms about breaking a metric boatload of code by shutting down the old sun.* APIs. Their justification was "You were not supposed to use these internal tools", but the reality of the matter is that migrating to a new Java version took lots of code rework. I'm surprised they were so shy to break code by introducing new keywords, after they wreaked havoc on people's codebases with removing sun.misc.BASE64Decoder etc
