The deprecated annotation removed in 2.2.3 had a purpose: deprecated interfaces are allowed to extend deprecated interfaces of another package without triggering a warning in DebugClassLoader. However, applying it on the public UserInterface was the mistake. Instead of having an internal interface that is extended by the conditional declaration of the public interface, the implementation is now reversed. An internal CompatUserInterface is now declared conditionally to handle the BC layer, and the public UserInterface extends it.
As our UserInterface and the CompatUserInterface are in the same package, UserInterface is allowed to extend CompatUserInterface without warning even when it is marked as deprecated, making both DebugClassLoader and downstream static analyzers happy.
