.NET Obselete classes

With classes such as System.Web.Mail that are marked as Obselete - are
these obselete classes scheduled to be removed from the .NET Framework
in future versions? Is there any concrete timeframe that Obselete
classes are planned to be removed, or do they stay indefinitely?

I think that they will be removed eventually (next major version
maybe?).

But even if they leave them in you should avoid using them. They are
marekd obsolete for a reason. Usually becouse there is now a better way
(some other class) to do something.

I'm thinking of legacy code being migrated

I don't know what you are trying to ask now?

If MS ever does eliminate them then they will likely provide an upgrade
path... some automatic method of mangling the source code to use the
new method.

That said, I think it's more likely that they would simply gut the old
classes and have them (internally) call the new stuff, and leave the
interface the same so that legacy code would still work. That's the
beauty of O-O. :)

Bruce - that's what I thought might be the case, hoping it's true.
