Are variant of this is where the super class or interface is in a 
library and a later version removed the method.  You'll immediately 
notice when replacing the lib with the newer version.  This is a good 
thing (being noticed - not removing something from a public API) and you 
are immediately aware that your method won't be invoked the same way as 
it used to be.

Granted this should be a rare situation but - for example - if the 
library method had been deprecated and you somehow missed adjusting your 
code to the imminent removal the compiler will force it on you once it 
is gone.

Kind regards
