You and I agree here - there even has been a thread about this not too long ago. Changing it would break backwards compatibility, though, something we are willing to do in a 2.x release not too far away in the future (I hope). For 1.x we prefer to keep it as it is. > (A new class for commons-io?) I'm pretty sure that already exists. CloseShieldInputStream IIRC.
