I've removed the enum (was a blocker on JDK 5) and enums (people need

An EnumUtils class has been added to the main lang package.

I also think the exception package should go. Again - the JDK has
support for this now and there's no strong value in Lang having an
alternative to stop people thinking about JDK 1.5. The ExceptionUtils
class should move up to the main lang package and needs to have the
Nestable Lang code removed from it. Presumably it still has value.
The problem with removing it directly is that it makes it harder to
upgrade piecemeal. That said, only ExceptionUtils is really needed. A
commons-lang-backwardscompatability.jar might make sense.
JVMRandom should go. I'm not convinced it's had much use.
Thats hard to tell. Even google searching won't tell you much
WordUtils and StringEscapeUtils both strike me as 'desirable but
flawed'. We should consider overhauls.
I suspect both are pretty popular. They mayy need additions, but I don't
think removals are feasible.
The Security requiring stuff in builder for reflection needs to go
away imo. Makes it less than useful.
Not sure exactly which code you mean, but everyone in Java is using
private reflection these days.
I'm still partial to a RegexUtils.
I'd like to see a RegEx builder.
Plus general generifying, varargs, autoboxing.
Deletion of all deprecated methods/classes.

StrBuilder should implement CharSequence and Appendable.
