Hoss Man commented on SOLR-2588:
--------------------------------
bq. With some small changes, Velocity could be optional.
Velocity (and the velocitywriter) were optional before, and a conscious and
deliberate choice was made to promote it into a core dependency so that admin
code (and users) could start expecting it to reliable always work.
if we want to re-consider i'm fine with having that discussion, but it
shouldn't be an "optional core" feature ... either it's a core feature and
dependency, or it's an optional contrib.
It's not a bug that code in solr has a direct dependency on jars in the lib dir.
