If I may clarify, there would be at least two stipulations for introducing
collections4.
1. someone else packages it and maintains it, available in Fedora and EL,
long term. Quality package.
this is what missing, us maintaining a new package just to have more beautiful code is
something that can be deferred for now.
2. JBoss has proper classloader isolation so that, even though JBoss
uses
collections3, a webapp can use collections4.
should not be a problem to use both.
I don't know the answer to either question :)
Seems like minimal gain to me, though.
