At the moment I can't think of any reasons not to get rid of the array

Fine with this.
So to summarize:
- where we currently have a method that receives an array representing
parameters, this should be replaced at least by a varargs, and possibly
overloaded to also accept a List
- where we currently have a method that receives either an array
representing some other structure, or receives more than one array, then
it should be replaced with a List
- where we have a method returning an array, this should be replaced by
a list (preferably immutable, but the Javadoc should indicate)
