If they are officially bad, remove them from the language. It's a backwards-compatible change. Currently we are in a weird situation, when standard library does not work well with each other. It's like making iPhone without USB-C cable and Macbook without USB-A port.

Was there ever a MacBook with USB-B?

java.util.Date is bad, but it's not getting removed. java.net.URLEncoder is bad, but it's not getting removed.
