Hello. In the thread[1] from which the below quote is extracted: > Would you be willing to provide a PR that deprecates the relevant APIs and > points to their equivalent in RNG? It will be more cruft we can trim for > 4.0, whenever that happens. Gary mentions that copy/paste is a "coding horror". My understanding is that he advises dropping functionality available from "Commons RNG" (or a trivial use of it). Case in point is a bug recently reported.[2]
The change amounts to removing "RandomUtils"[3] and moving all functionality from "RandomStringUtils"[4] (and removing it too) over to "Commons Text" that already defines several similar (perhaps all?) utilities[5] using a more robust approach. Is everyone on the same page?
