Not if they can be shown to be unused by end-users.

JMeter uses Jexl2 - don't have time to try it now, but I will try
tomorrow and see if it is affected by the API breaks.

There are still a few errors that could be fixed.
e.g. the visit() changes - would it work to re-introduce dummy
deprecated classes ASTFloatLiteral and ASTIntegerLiteral?
Or define them in terms of the new classes?

JexlArithmetic.strict can be made non-final
Likewise the method changes in UnifiedJEXL$Expression could be
reverted (and pending changes flagged).

I think it's now quite close, apart from the Script interface, which
may be allowed.
