I would remove it all in 5.0 but that's just me. I do not think that the deprecation is a must and it is just unnecessary exercise and we are just red taping here.
Major releases are good for dropping the "baggage" like this. Do we really want to wait until 6.0 is out to cut off the dead weight? ________________________________________ From: Ekaterina Dimitrova <e.dimitr...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2023 19:10 To: dev Subject: [DISCUSSION] CASSANDRA-18772 - removal of commons-codec on trunk NetApp Security WARNING: This is an external email. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Hi everyone, I propose we remove commons-codec on trunk. The only usage I found was from CASSANDRA-12790<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12790> - Support InfluxDb metrics reporter configuration, which relied on commons-codec and metrics-reporter-config, which will be removed as part of CASSANDRA-18743. The only question is whether we can remove those two dependencies on trunk, considering it is 5.1, or do we need to wait until 6.0. Best regards, Ekaterina
