I also vote a) -0 b) -1 c) +1
since 4.0 has lots of other breaking changes (removing deprecated APIs in particular) requiring some import reorganizations isn't a big deal in my opinion, and doesn't block the advancement toward supporting future Java versions. I'd rather not need to publish an additional JAR file and document which one was needed for what contexts/purposes, and all the questions coming from people not RTFM or JFGI. Leaving things as-is doesn't hurt me in the next couple of years, but as always, the longer one takes to migrate to the latest, the more pain is involved when the time comes due.
