Github user kinow commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/pull/275 >My suggestion would be to add two new classes with the fixed code (different class names), and deprecated the old classes. That way there is no need to have commons-lang v4. Thought a bit about that after seeing the vote for [lang] 3.7. In any way, the current implementation will be removed only in 4.x, and we will have to include the require static for Java 9 module. So right now I am thinking about not marking the class or fields as deprecated, nor adding another class with a different name. Just keep this PR and the ticket open. Then mark the ticket as FixVersion 4.0, use the require static trick for the module-info.java for Java 9. Does that sound like a good plan?
