Conversation
We're not removing it, but we've known it's a bad idea for close to 15 years now, and it's becoming an even worse idea [with Valhalla](https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/401). (prompted by #8815, which makes it tangentially related to #3864 in that it might leave `Ordering.explicit` as the _only_ method without a Java 8 replacement, though I notice that we don't appear to document replacements for `sortedCopy` and `immutableSorteCopy`) RELNOTES=n/a PiperOrigin-RevId: 1018611950
