Hi,
Yes, our SmartSVN still uses JavaHL. But we ship our own libraries, so
they don't need to be installed on the system.

On this note: do we have any reliable information about there being any

is not the most fun thing I can think of, so unless we have actual
downstream users, I'd prefer to mark the whole thing as deprecated and
move
on.
Two data points from a downstream packager, FWIW -
1. We build the JavaHL bindings in the Fedora packages, but there are no
other packages in Fedora which depend on them.
2. We stopped shipping the JavaHL bindings in RHEL9 and did not get any
requests to add them back.

There is at least one cross-platform Subversion GUI that relies on the
JavaHL bindings (SmartSVN).
