Completed as described in the comments for GitHub commit 428aee5:

Deprecate getDefTELClasses in TestContextMgr

Since a dedicated bootstrap strategy will be introduced for the
TestContext framework in Spring Framework 4.1, this commit officially
deprecates TestContextManager.getDefaultTestExecutionListenerClasses()
as a forewarning to developers or frameworks that may be using this
obscure feature.
