Hi Gilles,
The parts that I think would take a bit more of time would be making sure it is
thread safe and to write the unit tests, send a pull request, and get some
reviews to make sure it doesn't have any design flaws that would require
deprecating these classes yet again.

Unless I'm mistaken, the Observer/Observable can be trivially
implemented within the library.
In the "observable" class, define
* an inner interface "Observer" that declares method
public void update(CircuitBreaker);
* a field "observers" (of type "List<Observer>"),
* a method "registerObserver(Observer)" that populates the list,
* a method "notifyObservers":
private void notifyObservers() {
for (Observer obs : observers) {
obs.update(this);
}
}
Regards,
Gilles
