[Building Sakai] MT deprecation recommendationsfor 2.7

[Stephen Marquard]

I agree with Aaron's last para (deprecate, never remove, remove use from core code), and hope we can bring this thread to a conclusion soon.

Cheers
Stephen

I feel like it is worth mentioning here that in the Sakai 3 kernel you
will only be able to access services via OSGi mechanisms which are
similar to spring but use either xml or annotations (currently
anyway). There will be no spring/spring xml, component manager, or
static covers so while it may be ok to leave this stuff in Sakai 2 it
is not going to help anyone get used to the way things are going to
work in the future.

I am still on the side of leaving the covers in as a convenience to
developers who have used them, deprecating them and removing their use
from core code.
