I wanted to announce our plans in Orbit to remove some versions of 
org.objectweb.asm from active builds:  1 new, 3 old. 

The "new one" is 5.0.0. It was not even in a "milestone" build, so doubt 
anyone has any hard dependency on it, but a) that was "Beta code" until 
Java 8 was released, then we picked up final released version with had a 
few bug fixes in it over the beta version, but then b) Michael Rennie and 
others found a blocking defect with that released version, which was 
promptly fixed, and a version 5.0.1 released. Hence, we'd like to have 
only 5.0.1 in Orbit repo, and will remove any of the 5.0.0 versions. 

As for the old ones, normally we try remove "old stuff" by M5, but ... we 
slipped up and let that deadline pass without thinking about it. And for 
this bundle, it's kind of ridiculous: We currently have, in active builds 
and the latest R-build repo, versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.0, and now, 
soon 5.0.1. So, I plan to remove 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2. Again, only from 
"active" builds, for Luna. Nothing changes in R-repositories. 

If this has any unanticipated impact on anyone, feel free to comment in 
bug 431185 [1] and we'll be happy to add back what you need. 

This will happen in the next promoted I-build (hopefully later today). 

Thanks,
