I think that the http client 3.x has been there for ages. It is mature and I think that even if it reaches EOL there will be lots of users that would prefer it over 4.x. So, I don't see any value in removing it. I don't think that the maintenance burden of it is that much.
So I'd say rename it to http3 and let it be there for anyone that wants to use it. -- *Ioannis Canellos* * FuseSource <http://fusesource.com> ** Blog: http://iocanel.blogspot.com ** Twitter: iocanel *
