[hibernate-dev] Continue to add 5.2 deprecations for 6.0 work?

[Vlad Mihalcea]

I would use the regular Java deprecation mechanism is just make sure
we write the plan in the Javadoc and the User Guide.

On example is Query#setResultTransformer:

>
>  * @deprecated (since 5.2)
>  * @todo develop a new approach to result transformers
>  */
> @Deprecated
> Query<R> setResultTransformer(ResultTransformer transformer);

If we didn't use deprecated here, and chose only @EndOfLife,

people might complain even more that they didn't ackowledged that this
method is going to be changed in future.
