Hi Gary and others, I get it. So the core lang package has to be usable by anyone who does not have all the nice features the later versions offer. Makes sense. That said, how about having extensions, at least for J5 considering the drasticness of its change, in which there will be an API catering to shortcomings one may find after using J5? Or, even enhancements that can be thought of to add value to J5. These extensions will be bundled separately (additional jars) targeting only relevant users.
I wonder if this has been discussed. I would like your opinion on this.
