-------------------------------

There was an overwhelming (83%) majority to deprecate. So that is what we will do :-)

> The specification of @New is currently not really usable. It is really only for creating injected but unmanaged and unintercepted instances of a class. But this usecase is weird and imo just not needed. If the class under construction is an 'old' Pojo (without @Inject, etc) then it doesn't need to get managed. And it also doesn't provide any benefit over just using new Pojo();
> Also you cannot @New classes which don't have a default ct.
> I just found no sane scenario where we cannot use a producer method instead.
> Can we simply deprecate @New?
