> These two interfaces are legacy "marker" interfaces that were used to mark classes for FIELD granularity (PojoCache) bytecode enhancement.  In a JDK 5 world, this should be done with an annotation, not an interface.  In any case, in AS 5 we just want to use the @Replicable annotation from PojoCache.
> In AS 4.x these marker interfaces were in package org.jboss.web.tomcat.tc5.session, which does not exist in AS 5. We're not going to add those packages just for these classes, so since keeping them means a package change, there's no point keeping them around for "backward compatibility".
> If users wish to aspectize classes for FIELD based on something other than @Replicable, they can just write their own jboss-aop.xml file.
