>
> We have a public domain implementation of Base64 that is copied into our code
> base and infrequently receives updates. We should replace usage of that with
> the new Java 8 java.util.Base64 where possible.
> For the migration, I propose a phased approach.
> * Deprecate on 1.x and 2.x to signal to users that this is going away.
> * Replace usages on branch-2 and master with j.u.Base64
> * Delete our implementation of Base64 on master.
> Does this seem in line with our API compatibility requirements?
