Hi, folks. I want to bring our attention to maintaining backward compatibility on master/1.x branch. I've recently found that we dropped o.a.tika.language.LanguageIdentifier in 3a7a94c[1] (merged on 2016-03-07, see [2] also). It will brake downstream dependants of `tika-core` which use `LanguageIdentifier`.
It looks OK in 2.x branch, but I'm against sudden API changes (especially dropping public classes/interfaces) in 1.x branch. At least we should mark it `@Deprecated` for version or couple before dropping. I'd like to bring this and related classes back before 1.13 release if nobody objects to. I will haven't time to refactor it to use new APIs till middle of May.
