    --------------------------------------

was (Author: reschke):
My 2 cents: if something is deprecated, we need to point out what to do instead, even if this means pointing to OSGi.

> But RootProvider is an interface, and the only(?) implementation (RootProviderService) just calls this class as well. And we would have to first create a new instance.
> This was deprecated in OAK-7015 but I don't see why exactly, and what would be the real replacement.
> TreeFactory seems similar.
> Both RootFactory and TreeFactory are widely used. It seems before we deprecate things, we should have a good replacement. Replacements that just call the deprecated method don't seem useful.
