No, I've got the deprecation removal slated for 4.2.  Mainly because there 
was no official deprecation policy until a couple of months ago, so 4.1 is 
the official 'fair warning' before the deprecations are removed.

I would say the majority of the deprecations are from the:
SecuredDBObject(String userName)

constructor...   It appears you can omit that constructor from your own 
code fairly safely (I've notice that DBMaint seems to cooperate with it 
well).  And thus avoid some of the deprecation warnings in your own code.

                                                 -Mike
