Assuming it's in Lang, then this shouldn't be a big worry. The approach
has generally been to let other projects wake up to the fact that we've
replicated/copied methods from their hidden away private utils.

Yep. Add: 4) Arguments are finished.

We can go ahead in the commons-lang main tree I think. CalendarUtils is in
the sandbox and I would assume you would be merging that in too. There's
not a release of Lang planned anytime soon and releases can always ignore
new code.
