You mentioned ASF projects which, IIUC, you said depend on "Commons Math". So I asked: On which "Commons Math" utilities do they depend?

So, I thought > that this way (if I find any) there will be use-cases Yes, but if those projects don't want to depend on the new functionality, your time would be better used elsewhere. As you could read today[1], it's difficult to even share code inside the "Commons" project. For another project to delegate some functionality is much more to ask. What usually happens is the other way around; some functionality already exists somewhere, and is taken advantage of right away. For better or (and?) worse, most use-cases came from people who were using CM and needed something more, which they contributed back. Since it's "there" already, better improve it than find more things to add (if you don't have use-cases for them). Did I mention "clustering" and "genetic algorithm"?
