Thanks! I think deprecating toLowerCase()/toUpperCase() is a great idea but at the same time, i'm not sure that the methods lowercase() and uppercase() are a good addition. Their names are too close to toLowerCase/toUpperCase thus too easy to misuse ones for the others. I'm fine with users having to write toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT) or toUpperCase(Locale.Root) because this is already what we teach. > Glavo regards, Rémi > [1] [ > https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2023-January/099375.html > | https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2023-January/099375.html ] > [2] [ https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/13434 | > https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/13434 ]
