[AccessD] Jet OLEDB provider - deprecated?

Each MDAC install contains update/upgrade information which is added to the
previous version.  You may have MDAC 2.6 checked but the system is really
using JET 4.0 from MDAC 2.5

Subject: [AccessD] Jet OLEDB provider - deprecated?


While trying to solve an ADO-related problem, I ran across the following
page on MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/ado270/htm/
ado_deprecated.asp

in which it says:

Jet and Replication Objects (JRO)
The Microsoft Jet OLE DB Provider and other related components were removed
from MDAC 2.6. Microsoft has deprecated the Microsoft Jet Engine, and plans
no new releases or service packs for this component. As a result, the Jet
and Replication Objects (JRO) is being deprecated in this release and will
not be available in any future MDAC releases.

Huh?  AFAIK, our machines have MDAC 2.6 installed, and I use Jet 4.0 as an
OLEDB provider without any issues. Am I in for a nasty surprise?  I can
understand the "no new releases or service packs", but what about the
"removed from MDAC 2.6" part?
