A corollary question is whether we should support usage of the upcoming release on Java 8, even if the library stays source compatible with Java 8 (to allow such usage). Dropping "FastMath" would mean that the library and applications using it can benefit from the performance enhancements of Java 11 (if the conditions below hold). > > * no "AccurateMath" function is faster, and > > * no "AccurateMath" function is more accurate. > > Otherwise the conditions are OK. > > Note: the class(es) should be deprecated for one or two releases first. The upcoming release (4.0) is a major one. Users would anyways have to adapt their code to the package's name change (and to the class name change too in this case); doing that would not be any simpler than searching calls to "FastMath" and replacing them with calls to "Math".
