This is worth wider circulation...

If they are public, yes.

JUMBO6.0 would be less likely to still have the deprecated classes and methods

The main question is whether there are outdated APIs. If there is 
deprecated stuff that is not visible relatively few problems arise. I 
have been trawling through the APIs (slowly) to see what can be made 
private. In general if something can be made private it is easy to 
see if it is an orphan. Of course this doesn't hold for applications 
which use JUMBO and might use outdated APIs.
