I've found DBReport / DBLookup to be quite useful for simple DB operations as they are easy to do OOTB. While DB Lookup mediator maybe limited in it's ability to only being able to return a single row of data, DB Report mediator is still quite useful in writing to a database, especially when we use a DB as part of the mediation sequences.
I also feel it is worth continuing with POJOCommand, as it is the most simplest way of executing some custom code as part of a sequence. Although it is possible to do the same with a Class mediator, one doesn't have to worry about adding the proper jars, working with MessageContext etc. with the POJOCommand. I think we should retain it for the sake of simplicity of use. I'm +1 to deprecate the rest of the mediators.
