The "Sanity Check of APIs, etc." page has been changed by MattBenson:
http://wiki.apache.org/commons/Sanity%20Check%20of%20APIs%2C%20etc.

New page:
Address open questions:

 * there are several marker interfaces, but maybe some annotations would make 
more sense?

 * couldn't Function, UnaryFunction and BinaryFunction be unified with a single 
interface using a vararg parameter?

 * EachElement should be able to work on any Iterable. Also I'm not sure to 
understand why its constructor is public.

 * Shouldn't Generator implement Iterable?

 * why are equals, hashCode and toString defined in the Functor interface?

 * why Predicate isn't an extension of Function<Boolean> ?

 * why Procedure isn't an extension of Function<Void> ?

 * Why are constants available through both a static field AND a static method? 
For example Identity.INSTANCE and Identify.instance(), or Constant.TRUE and 
Constant.truePredicate() ?

 * The Javadoc for Limit states "A predicate that returns true the first n 
times it is invoked.", but what happens after? Is it the opposite of Offset?

 * Why aren't Limit and Offset serializable like the other classes in the core 
package?

 * Limit and Offset could probably use an AtomicInteger instead of a 
synchronized block

 * the site has no example easily accessible, the reader is invited to browse 
the JUnit tests. That's not really user friendly.

 * I see IllegalArgumentExceptions thrown for null values, shouldn't this be 
changed to throw NullPointerExceptions ?

 * @inheritDoc tags should be removed if no additional description is provided 
in the subclasses. This tag is only useful for extending the description from 
the method of the super class.

 * what's the point of having equals(T) methods in addition to equals(Object) ? 
It clutters the API.

 * CollectionTransformer has a todo stating : "TODO revisit this class..."

 * There are several untested classes in the composite package

 * Most of the equals/hashcode methods are not tested
