Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-5858:
---------------------------------------

bq. On a side note, if we want to keep backward compatibility manageable, I 
think we should think about releasing Lucene 5.0 soon (4.x is almost 2 years 
old already).

At least to get the 3.x backwards codec away, To do this, we just need to fix 
some minor problems with the new Stored/Indexed/Docvalues field API. Robert has 
some problems with it. I am strongly in fixing those.

Also the Solr "Server" issues should be solved, so Solr no longer ships as 
Webapp, but as separate server.

This are low-hangging fruits for 5.0...

> These take significant space and bloat core lucene. Not everyone needs the 
> ability to read ancient indexes (especially building a new app). 
> We should move this cruft out of the core/ jar. codecs/ is the obvious place, 
> its already setup in the build system for tests and everything else.
