Hi Rob,
Looking at frequency I think more number of requests coming
for RandomStringUtils for its simplicity.
RandomStringGenerator is strong , flexible but one can't use it
quickly.
Also I think this tool should belong in Commons text's arsenal. I'm
not
only moving RandomStringUtils to text but changing its core logic
with
using
RandomStringGenerator which seems fair to me. So finally we should
release
text-1.2 rather doing rollback of deprecation and release lang
3.6.1, WDYT
?
I definitely lean this direction, but if I recall correctly we drew
“line between [lang] and [text]” to be: a piece of functionality
should go in [lang] if the arbitrary java developer would probably
want it, whereas text is geared towards folks actually doing text
manipulation [1].
Personally I’m a +0 to +1 on doing this, but I wanted to gauge other
folks’ thoughts here because I feel like we’re in that grey area
here.
That said, I’m perfectly willing to roll a 1.2 [text] release.
"Grey area" should favour small components.

Hello Benedikt,
How about we keep that deprecated in lang and release Text-1.2 ?
[snip]
I’m on board with this if folks are complaining and the original
intent
was to deprecate things in [lang]. Why not roll forward as opposed
to
backwards?
But, that opens the question: Is RandomStringUtils something that
most
folks would want (i.e. should it be in [lang] or [text])? I think
that
question is more the heart of the problem here. Either direction
seems
reasonable to me.
Thoughts?
