Just to clarify this.

The entire annotation interface is deprecated -> no new project should 
use it.  Instead they should use MI and help improve that interface 
where necessary.

While projects might find that the level-one annotations work, they need 
to remember that the mechanism they are relying on is deprecated and, 
consequently, is receiving little of any attention.

I don't know about you, but if my project was in this situtation I'd be 
doing everything possible to move away from annotations and towards MI.
