Hey, Aurora depends heavily on twitter-commons for lots of functionality. However upstream is not very active and I suspect that it will be less active in the future. Currently we depend on artifacts published from this project which causes us to depend on older versions of guava and guice.
As a result, it seems that will be difficult to address tickets like AURORA-1380 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-1380> without changing something. I propose we fork all of the java portions of twitter-commons into our tree, remove the parts we don't use and update guava and guice so we can move forward on this front. What are people's thoughts on this? -- Zameer Manji
