The Deprecated attribute is, effectively, Deprecated. So I'm not
interested in giving it any life support. <br>
<br>
However, it is reasonable to allow the @Deprecated annotation on
record components. And, you can apply it there now! And if you do,
it will get propagated to fields, accessors, and constructor
parameters, and reflection will reflect the right thing -- because
its an annotation. <br>
<br>
It is reasonable to add RECORD_COMPONENT to the target type, though
not necessary. This would cause it to be propagated through to the
Record attribute, where reflection would report it. I'm pretty
not-interested in spending any spec or compiler effort on this,
though. Its an annotation; we support annotations. <br>

<div>Currently you can not deprecate a record component unlike
in Scala or in Kotlin.<br data-mce-bogus="1">

<div>We can either allow @Deprecated or pretend that people

will never change, etc </div>

<div>How to fix the issue,<br data-mce-bogus="1">
</div>
<div>- as Dmitry Bessonov said on the amber mailing list, the
Deprecated annotation should list
ElementType.RECORD_COMPONENT as possible target.<br

</div>
<div>- the JVMS should be changed to allow the attribute
Deprecated on record_component.</div>
