We – and others – have tried to submit patches to Guava several times and

were never going to take any submissions from outside, so please stop
trying.
Fugue[2] was written as it became increasingly obvious that any sane
functional library code would be deliberately subverted as the Guava team
don't like it [3] and have no intention of supporting it except
accidentally.
BTW Fugue isn't our only functional library code, we have recently added
a
Promise[4] to atlassian-util-concurrent[5] that gives a much saner
interface to the whacky ListenableFuture stuff.
Thanks for the insight, that to me is very important: at this point I
think I should wait with Guava and have a look at Fugue.
But I can't prevent myself from putting further questions? If the
stone-wall was only Sun/Oracle, one might argue they have a too
conservative attitude. Now we're talking also of Google. The two biggest
Java player around, I'd say.
