@rschmitt 1. I see `Optional` being abused on my day project to produce hideous results. In this particular instance however I felt the use of optional return type was justified as the intent of the interface call was to optionally trigger request re-execution. But conceptually I fully agree. 2. I do not understand your take on making API changes, especially given there were no breaking changes in this very change-set. You seem to be averse to the idea of doing a major release that would enable us to get rid of deprecated APIs and various `default` methods in interfaces, drop interfaces and primitives now provided by JRE that we have accumulated in the past 10 years. This I understand. But we cannot stop making gradual API improvements simply because that entails some extra work to upgrade. Otherwise the project will stagnate and fail. This I do not understand. 3. I do not understand your aversion to the use of `IOException`. HC is a low level transport library, after all. The problem that checked exceptions do not mix well with lambdas is a problem with Java lambdas, not our APIs. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
