I am trying to find out about 5.3 specifically, not 5.4. I am sure that 5.4 is going to be upgraded to ASM that's compatible with Java 8 at some point, but our projects are using 5.3, and we don't plan to upgrade to 5.4 for various reasons. So, if there are no plans for upgrading 5.3 to the new ASM, we need to think about alternate plans ahead of time.
Also, is there a particular reason why ASM is 'baked in' to plastic, as opposed to just having a separate maven / gradle dependency on it? Seems to be much easier to upgrade if it's a regular dependency rather than jarjar'd.
