I'd suggest that users of "OpenMapRealVector" step up and provide advice on
how to keep supporting this class.
Maybe that you could post on the "user" ML, to poll for an eventual removal
of the class!
Or if there is reluctance to remove this functionality, we can let the bug
unfixed, warn (in the Javadoc) of the problems, and relax the unit tests (by
overriding the "testMap" methods and including only functions that do not
make them fail). Then resolve MATH-821 as "Won't fix".


Best regards,
Gilles

If we do that, maybe we should "undeprecate" ebeMultiply and ebeDivide
(MATH-803) and do the same with their javadocs. Although not strictly
related to the structure of vector space, these methods are useful.
