I do not think it is ridiculous. We e.g. also have several implementations of
'List' in java (ArrayList, LinkedList), which are functionally equivalent,
but one is better in certain situations and the other in other situations.

As long as we are not certain that the apache one is better in all
situations, we can just leave both implementations and offer the choice.

As soon as it is clear that one alternative has only advantages and the
runtime dependency is no issue, we can drop the other one.
