Gilles Sadowski commented on LANG-1763:
---------------------------------------
bq. Even if someone appeared tomorrow ready to contribute such a wrapper, we
still wouldn't want to maintain it.
Thanks for the clear-cut statement.
I think that it should be reported on the "dev" ML.
Hence IIUC, the only remaining alternative would be as [~ggregory] mentioned:
bq. "Deprecated with no replacement"
> Deprecate FastDateFormat

> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Major

> FastDateFormat has bugs, is out of date, and solves a problem that no longer
> exists. That is, it's a thread-safe replacement for SimpleDateFormat. But
> SimpleDateFormat should be replaced by java.time classes in Java 1.8 and
> later, which are thread safe. So deprecate FastDateFormat with a suggestion
> that devs use java.time instead.
