Realistically we cannot deprecate and stop supporting the 4.x code line the same moment 5.0 goes GA. We will have to support both 4.x and 5.x for quite some time. Recently the old connection pooling code in HttpAsyncClient has been giving me quite some grief. Ideally I would like to be able to replace it with something known to be better instead of having to patch the old implementation all the time.
