[ovirt-devel] [ENGINE] thoughts about LinqUtils

[Allon Mureinik]

IMO, we have too many classes that do the same (useless) thing - org.ovirt.engine.core.utils.linq.LinqUtils and org.ovirt.engine.core.common.utils.ListUtils, which both have no place in oVirt-engine.
Why not scrap both of them, upgrade commons-collections to the modern 4.0 and use org.apache.commons.collections4.CollectionUtils which has all of their functionality, fully-tested, and maintained by someone else?
