Given that, the question is whether we believe we'll be improving it dramatically rather than merely bugfix. Of course there might be other reasons why Regexp is preferable. ORO does do better than Java 1.4 and would seem to be the product worth attention if we want to support a 'java.util.regex' isn't good enough angle.

For ORO and RegEx I am +1 to mothball. With RegEx in Java since 1.4, I do not see the need for these libs aside from legacy application support.
