Hi. The recent flip-flopping changes in [CLI] and [Configuration] made me wonder if I should, again, try to raise the question of when and how Commons components should depend on other Commons components.
Previous attempts (hinting at "when" and "how") have been ignored, but shouldn't we at least have a consensus, backed with a few hard rules? One such rule could be that if the minimum required JDK provides functionality that is also implemented in a Commons component, that component should 1. call the JDK equivalent functionality, 2. deprecate its (redundant) implementation in order to encourage developers to use the JDK instead, and allow us to trim down the Commons "bloat". WDYT?
