Are we sure about this ? I am really -1 on removing custom mediators in general.

For me custom mediators are about providing a reusable way of executing the 
same stuff again and again (and gives you more power, reusability than 
scripting) - Granted, they have been used to do connectors work, but is that 
the only thing they are used for ? Plus say I did create some custom mediators 
already - they are proven and I need to reuse them.

So what happens in I *want* to use a custom mediator in DevS 3.3 and ESB 4.8 -  
What's my workaround ?
