[Springframework-developer] Internal use of deprecated methods

[Erwin V. <erw...@er...>]

I was wondering whether or not the framework should use it's own deprecated 
methods. For instance, on line 402 of ProxyFactoryBean we find:

String[] globalAdvisorNames = 
BeanFactoryUtils.beanNamesIncludingAncestors(beanFactory, Advisor.class);

And the "beanNamesIncludingAncestors" method of BeanFactoryUtils is 
deprecated. We could rewrite this using the new prefered method:

String[] globalAdvisorNames = 
BeanFactoryUtils.beanNamesForTypeIncludingAncestors(beanFactory, 
Advisor.class);

Is there a particular reason to keep using the old deprecated method?
