Upgrading dependencies in a maintenance branch is a bit troublesome as the risk of introducing unexpected problems is higher than with simpler code changes. Thus the benefits should be carefully weighed against the potential risk. One way to reduce the potential impact is to only update the Tika dependency in the war, rar, and standalone jar archives, but leave the dependency in jackrabbit-core unchanged so we don't accidentally mess up with transitive dependencies of downstream projects. A downstream project that embeds Jackrabbit but still wants the Tika update can still do so locally by explicitly upgrading the version of the Tika dependency. BR, Jukka Zitting
