Tommaso Teofili commented on UIMA-2430:
---------------------------------------

bq. I remember this issue from some time ago, and if I recall correctly, we 
noticed that changing this (to remove incubator) breaks backward compatibility. 
do you mean backward compatibility with UIMA older versions (2.x) of with older 
versions of the DictionaryAnnotator?
If that's the former then I agree that may be a hurdle, if it's the latter I'd 
tend to be slightly less concerned about that.
However I think that we _have to_ remove the 'incubator' subpackage since, 
formally and legally, we're not part of the Incubator anymore.

bq. Is there a reasonable approach to make this change, while appropriately 
notifying users whose code may "break" what is going on and how to fix issues 
that might arise here?
we may put a dedicated WARNING/ERROR message to handle usage of the 
DictionaryAnnotator with the old type system which advices to migrate the new 
type system.
