i guess another way to say this is that I can see both sides of the argument ... on one side, it shouldn't be a priority to resolve problems that java already provides when there are probably other more pressing issues. And it's part of the design decision to allow users to leverage java libraries. On the other, I've heard people complain about the verbosity of trying to find libraries in java vs. python, and this could be an opportunity to fix that.
